Whanganui High School rowers achieved the best Maadi Cup Regatta result by the school for many years.
The rowers left Lake Karapiro with six medals — four silvers and two bronzes — which ranked the school 12th in the country at the end of the regatta and broke a seven-year medal drought for the school.
