More than 250 athletes from 37 different clubs and provincial associations vied for 21 coveted national championship titles this past weekend on Quamichan Lake during the 2023 Rowing Canada Aviron National Rowing Championships.
It was the second-straight year the event was held at Canadian rowing authority91裸聊视频檚 North Cowichan-based National Training Centre and champions were crowned in both singles and pairs events within the Senior, Para, Under-23 and Under-19 categories.
In the end, rowing powerhouse Rowing BC emerged as the Provincial Grand Champions, while Row Ontario earned the Provincial Efficiency award for their efforts.
It should come as no surprise that Rowing BC athletes were involved in many of the weekend91裸聊视频檚 standout moments.
Rowing BC91裸聊视频檚 Liam Smit, of Vancouver, was able to retain his title as national champion, once again claiming the Derek Porter Trophy as the winner of the Men91裸聊视频檚 Single Scull final. He finished just ahead of his Team Canada teammate Steven Rosts, who was competing for Row Ontario.
The recipient of the Silken Laumann Plate as the Women91裸聊视频檚 Single Scull final winner was Row Ontario91裸聊视频檚 Carling Zeeman, who beat out teammate Jennifer Casson for first place. It was Zeeman91裸聊视频檚 10th national championship title.
Casson91裸聊视频檚 second-place finish is noteworthy as she91裸聊视频檚 typically a lightweight rower.
Rowing BC91裸聊视频檚 Katie Clark was the top British Columbian, finishing fourth in the Women91裸聊视频檚 Single Scull. All three women are part of the 2023 Canadian National Rowing Team, along with Rowing BC91裸聊视频檚 Caileigh Filmer of Victoria, who won this year91裸聊视频檚 Women91裸聊视频檚 Pair event with Team Canada teammate Piper Battersby, also of Victoria.
For their win, the duo received the Kathleen Heddle & Marnie McBean Trophy.
91裸聊视频淲e were together for two weeks coming into this and we were getting faster every day and I think Piper called a great race,91裸聊视频� Filmer said. 91裸聊视频淲e knew with the wind, that we had to be very technical. The wind was pretty similar throughout the championships, so we were able to learn and make new plans for each race. We knew that we wanted to make sure that we had some gas going into the second half and Piper kept us both very calm and then we were able to go when we had planned, so I91裸聊视频檓 really thrilled for us.91裸聊视频�
The wind did cause some delays over the course of the weekend but all events were able to be contested without the need for racing on the spare day for inclement weather.
Rowing BC took top spot in the Men91裸聊视频檚 Pair as well as national team rower Joel Cullen finished first in the men91裸聊视频檚 pair event with partner Jack Walker. Their four-second victory earned them the George Hungerford & Roger Jackson Trophy.

Rowing BC91裸聊视频檚 Patrick Levis won the Men91裸聊视频檚 PR2 Single Sculls event. Both Akins and Levis have competed for Canada on the international stage.
