We are delighted to share some exciting news about two members of our community. Director of Rowing, Brendan Long, and current parent and Collegian Marcos Ambrose (’94) have both been inducted into the Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame.

Amongst their achievements, Marcos won back-to-back V8 Supercars titles in 2003 and 2004 before racing NASCAR in the United States, winning races at the highest level in 2011 and 2012, and Brendan, who began rowing with the Tamar Rowing Club, became an eight-time Australian champion and competed at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games.

This is an incredible achievement, as only 146 Tasmanians, including some of the states most celebrated athlets, have received this honour. We congratulate Marcos and Brendan on the recognition of their success.
