History of the Victorian APS Head of the River rowing regatta

2004 APS Head of the River

This page is under construction.

The 137th Boys Head of the River and the 24th Girls Head of the River were conducted in good conditions at Nagambie on 27th March 2004. The temperature was mid to high twenties and the cross head breeze moderated during the day so as not to require a redraw of the events.

Carey Grammar won their first Head of the River in the girls race and Scotch College was to begin a long era of success in the boys race. 

Carey led through the last 1500 metres of the race and finished strongly some 6.62 seconds in front of Geelong College.

It was another year where the winning crew in the boys race came from behind to win. Scotch was third placed at both the 500 and 1000 metre marks, then second with 500 metres to go and finishing the last quarter with a 3.7 second turnaround on the Carey crew. 

Interestingly, Scotch College had secured the services of Jeff Watt who had coached the winning Geelong College crew in the previous year.
