Justin Smyth smashing it in France!

Yar 13 student Justin Smyth and his U19 quad crew are through to the semi finals at the world U19 rowing champs in Paris, France.

Justin (far right in top photo) and his team raced in the 1st heat yesterday and had an epic race just getting pipped by the Czech crew to finish in second place and earning direct entry into the semi finals on Saturday.
