The HT crew club had their third and final 2k ergometer test on Tuesday and it was our best to date. Several athletes finally toppled marks that they have been chasing for some time. Junior Catie Ely overcame the 8'O curse to finally finish south of the 2:00 per/500-m avg mark with a time of 7:57. For the first time in the team's history there are now 7 girls under 8 minutes. Junior Ryan Clark gutted out a rough final 500-m to finish under 7 minutes, a 10 second improvement over his last 2k test!Sophomore Jim Howley finished in 6:49, breaking his own school record by 4 seconds.
Sophomore Novice, Nicole DiTommaso nearly toppled Senior, Tori King's team record in her first try, pulling a 7:46, a good score for a young rower.
The team rolls on toward Manny Flick #2 and cold weather this weekend. Pictures of Manny Flick #1 are available online here.
