They were chasing a slice of history and the Aramoho Wanganui Rowing Club members served it up sweet at the New Zealand Club Championships this week.
Taking an elite 20-person squad, the Ian Weenink-coached club members all made the A finals in their various classes down in Twizel in very warm conditions.
On Thursday, gold was struck by the novice quad team of Rayelynn Brackett, Georgia Nugent-O'Leary, Sammy Murphy, Riley Wyeth and cox Savanna Gaskell. They also won bronze in the novice four yesterday.
Also yesterday, Nugent-O'Leary and Murphy teamed to win gold in the novice double.
With two crews making the final of the under-20 fours, Aramoho were well placed to medal and did so through a bronze from Jackie Gowler, Kaela Janiten, Sarah-Jane Back and Ella Cvitanovich.
