History of the Victorian APS Head of the River rowing regatta

1993 APS Head of the River

Normal transmission resumed in 1993 with Geelong Grammar School winning the girl's Head of the River and Geelong College winning the boy's race. In fact Geelong Grammar's stellar run continued with the school taking out four of the eight races on offer - the boy's second and third eights and the girl's first and second fours.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
