Last weekend, King's College rowers attended the penultimate regatta of the season, the North Island Secondary Schools Championships, held on Lake Karapiro, from Friday, 18 to Sunday, 20 March. 

All of the rowers acquitted themselves very well in their respective heats and semis, with twelve crews making it to an A final (compared to nine the previous year), and eight to a B final (compared to four the previous year).

In the twelve A finals, seven medals were attained: one gold, four silver and two bronze.
