Well done to Old Boy and PNBHS Physical Education teacher Blair van Stipriaan, who competed in the finals of the World Indoor Rowing Championships, finishing in 7th place in the 40 – 49 years, lightweight men’s category over a distance of 2,000m. Blair won the Oceania qualifying competition in December and was pleased to row a personal best time of 6.45.05 in the final. Being part of an online global competition posed some challenges, most specifically having to compete at 1.14am New Zealand time after completing a final weigh-in two hours prior.
