CRI Varsity Girls and Boys hosted PNRA Mercer Junior athletes from Princeton, NJ in a scrimmage last weekend, treating them to hospitality and to some great early-season races. CRI rowers had a very solid showing against a well-drilled Mercer program. The Lighties and V8 showed terrific moxie, fitness and hull speed throughout the three pieces to come away victorious.
The boy's team also fared well winning all of their pieces in a convincing fashion, boding well for the Saratoga Invitational races this coming weekend. Congratulations to those who raced last week, and thank you to those who participating in hosting our New Jersey colleagues! |
| 3rd Annual Boston Youth Indoor Championships
100 Boston Public Middle Schoolers Participate
| 
Over 100 Boston Public Schools middle students attended the 3rd Annual Boston Youth Indoor Rowing Championships (BYIRC) at the Harry Parker Boathouse. Students from St. Columbkille School, Conley School and Bates School attended the event. The students participated at three stations around the boathouse: erg relay station, singles/oar information station, and barge/dock station. The 2014 BYIC winner,St. Columbkille School, was presented an "oar" trophy by special guest, Margot Shumway. On behalf of the Let's Row Boston middle school program, we would like to thank Kaitlin Coulter, Matthew Lehrer, James Hughes, John Tracey, Sharanya Subramanian and Margot Shumway helping making the BYIRC such a success. Check out a video of the erg relay:
