A century of family rowing

History is repeating itself in the Wesley Rowing program. Jack Richardson, a current Year 12 student at the Glen Waverley campus, is rowing in the bow seat for the 2013 Boys First Vlll crew (pictured above). Exactly 100 years ago, Jack’s great grandfather, Carlyle Sandford Wood (OW1914) was in Year 11, and was Captain of Boats and stroke of the 1913 winning Wesley First Vlll crew (pictured below). This story was told as part of the toast to past crews at this year’s Annual Boat Race dinner, and sparked much conversation and recollection of Wesley’s past and current rowing success.
