Row New York Medals at Long Island Championships

Last weekend yielded very solid results by Row New York at the Long Island Championship Regatta. Highlights include:

1. The Novice Four earned a silver medal, defeating Our Lady of Mercy, McGann Mercy, Cold Spring Harbor, Manhasset, St. Anthony, Rumson, Riverhead, Nutley, South Jersey, Long Island, Huntington, and St. John the Baptist.

2. Six different boats made it to the Grand Final, a very noble accomplishment at such a competitive regatta. These included the Novice Four mentioned above, the Novice Eight, the Varsity Four, the Second Varsity Four, the Varsity Eight, and the Junior Four.

3. The Varsity Eight took back the "Duck" with open water from Bayshore, finishing fifth at the Grand Final with Bayshore in sixth place (Notable also: our Second Novice Eight beat Bayshore's First Novice Eight).

4. The Second Varsity Four made it to the Grand Final of the Varsity Four event, meaning that our second-fastest four is significantly faster than many teams' fastest four.

We are excited about the speed shown last weekend and look forward to seeing how we stack up at the upcoming New York State Championship!
