Crew: National Schools' Championship Regatta, June 2014
This was a new regatta, put on by the NSRA, the National Scholastic Rowing Association, in Saratoga Springs, NY. (So not the more established US Rowing Youth Nationals the following week in Sacramento, CA.)
CRLS qualified through the Boys First Varsity Four win in "States", the Massachusetts Public School Rowing Association (MPSRA) Spring Championship. And then we petitioned to include Girls and 2V boats as well. The Boys 1V raced as Lightweight, meaning the Boys 2V had to race as Varsity, against other schools' top teams.
Results:
- Womens Varsity 4+ Heat 2: 3rd place, qualifying for Grand Final (Olivia, Eva, Noa, Francesca, Anna (cox))
- Mens Varsity 4+ Heat 1: 6th place (Zach, Alex, Jordan, Simon, Susmit (cox))
- Mens Ltwt 4+ Final (no preliminary heats): 2nd place, silver medal (Nick, Nate, Colin, Jonah, Benjamin (cox))
- Mens Varsity 4+ Petite Final: 4th place
- Womens Varsity 4+ Final: 8th place
