2019 APS Head of the River
The 152nd boys Head of the River and the 39th girls Head of the River were conducted Saturday 23rd March 2019 at Nagambie Lakes.
Geelong Grammar won the girls Head of the River for the sixth time in a row, equalling the feat they achieved in the 1990s. A win by Haileybury in the Year 10 A fours was a promising sign for that school.
Scotch College again dominated the boys side of the draw with another Head of the River win and also wins in all senior boats and in the year 10 A eights.
The conditions were challenging for the junior crews in the morning with a difficult cross wind. Many oars were broken. Fortunately the weather abated for the finals.
