From country NSW to the world

The undefeated Schoolgirl Coxed Quad of Freya Neville, Orange, Bridget Yeomans, Walgett, Lucy Jenkins, Nyngan, Isabelle Scammell, Cowra, and Jetta Kennett, Harden, pre-qualified to race in the Diamond Jubilee Challenge Cup, which is the junior women's quad scull race at Henley.

The crew had an incredible, breakthrough domestic season, winning silver in the Under-19 Coxless Quad and gold in the Schoolgirl Coxed Quad at the National Championships.

Bella and Freya also won Gold in the Under-17 Double Scull.

With the exception of one, all of the girls are boarders who come from farming families experiencing drought.

The school's teams train on Orange's Spring Creek Reservoir, a protected part of the town's water supply that provides an ideal location for year-round training.

The team's head rowing coach, ex-Olympic rower Sarah Cook, believes they have what it takes to be competitive on the world stage.

"Henley Royal Regatta is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious regattas," she said.

"However, it is also one of the most challenging with 53 top crews from around the world entered this year.

"Thirty-three teams are eliminated in the qualifiers the week prior to the regatta.

"Our crew earned the right to start in the main draw.

"Ultimately, we drew the crew from Upper Latymer for our first round and they went on to win with the fastest time of all in the Diamond Jubilee races of the day.

"It is quite extraordinary how the Quad girls are performing, but also how the whole squad went.

"At the Head of the River, every rower bar one in our senior squad won a medal and then for the girls in the top crew to be unbeaten all season is amazing.

"We're very excited about the future and looking forward to the 2019/20 rowing season."
