Girls Varsity RowingWe began the day strong with our Women’s Varsity 8+. We finished second behind the defending state championship Forest Hills Northern boat by only half a length. This is significant because of how young our V8+ was. 1 Freshman, 4 Sophomores and 4 Seniors. Over half the boat are underclassmen racing against an almost entirely senior crew.The women’s Varsity 4x finished 2nd overall. The women’s Varsity 2x is a crew that I think has some potential. Both Annie and Ruth rowed a clean race, but with no practice it was clear they might have been a bit uncomfortable. As the race continued, you could see them both get a bit more comfortable, and they started to push the rate up and they began walking back up on the Lowell crew who finished second. Our lightweight 2x of Natalie and Paige had a great race from start to finish. They rowed clean and were fighting with the crew next to them to the finish. The women’s v

Boys Varsity RowingThe next highlight is our men’s junior 2x. They had a great race down the course and won our first race of the day. Unfortunately, they were beaten on time by the winning boat in the second flight. This is a crew that we feel strongly about, and I know they are excited for next week to try and get revenge for being beaten on time. Our Men’s Lightweight 4+ consists of two novice boys who had their first race of their careers this weekend. While the race wasn’t perfect, we all saw some good things and we are excited to keep working on this crew and get them rowing a bit cleaner and moving faster. The men’s quad is I think one of my favorite races from the regatta. They had a rough start catching two crabs within the first 5 strokes of the race. This put them at a massive disadvantage. They were able to battle back and overtake the other crews in their race to get the win. Unfortunately, similarly to the Junior 2x race earlier in the d
