CRI at Bayada Regatta
|
CRI had a great showing again at the Bayada Adaptive Regatta last month in Philadelphia. Five pararowing athletes competed in 6 events and took home 2 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals. It was the first race for both Steve McClenon (gold - LTA Men's Rec 2X 45+) and Nate Cappuccino (bronze - LTA Men's novice 2X).
Matt McLaughlin took bronze in the LTA-ID Men's 2X with Gary Piantodosi in bow. Jaden Thoennes and Priscilla Lowell took gold in the TA Women's 2x, and Jaden also took silver in the TA Women's 1X.
Please join us in congratulating CRI's Para Rowing athletes on an outstanding team performance!
