Five learners from St Andrew’s School for Girls have been selected to go on the annual South African Schools Rowing Union (SASRU) Development Tour.
Storme Buckle, Erin Hallaby, Katherine Bean, Jenny Li and Jade Texeira will form part of the tour, which will take place from April 27 to May 7.
The SASRU Development Squad is aimed at providing the top athletes at U/16 level an opportunity to continue their season for a short period after the SASRU Championship and gain exposure to a squad environment.
The squad also gives them an opportunity to tour overseas for an enriching rowing cultural experience, combined with exposure to foreign racing conditions and standards.
This year’s squad will travel to England to compete at the Wallingford and Bedford regattas, as well as visit Oxford and Henley among other sites of cultural and rowing interest.
