Congratulations in making it through the first three Flicks!
We are off to a good start and have lots of potential for strong finishes in the upcoming medal races.
A few notable performances: (Please forgive any miss spellings of names!)
Maddie Remetz and Eric Duffy tore it up in the JV 1xs, finishing 1st and 2nd in their respective heats at Manny Flick #1. Alex Blue carried on the tradition with a 2nd place finish in the JV1x in Manny Flick # 3.
Evan Taylor jumped into the spring season after his staring performance in the Winter Musical. His 3rd place finish in the JV1x during Manny Flick#3 is a perfect example of his fantastic technique and attitude!
Emily Donavan, Nicole DiTomaso, Selena Silvara, and Cassidy Lyendecker have started out the season with a back and forth battle with Conastoga in the JV4X. A second place finish at Flick #3 closed the gap between our rivals to a single second. Watch out Stoga - here we come!
Katie Ely, Sara Rosenberg, Kate Watson, and Juliette Daily took a 2nd place finish in the LWT 4x for the second week in a row. The Light 4x is a very competitive event and we are excited to have had such strong early season performances in this new line up. Keep up the good work ladies!
It is a competitive year for the JV Men's 4xs, and HT boys are right in the thick of it. Eric Duffy, Jim Howley, Nick Herztag and Alec Rogers finished 5th in a fast heat in Manny Flick #3. Alex Blue stroked the same line up in Manny Flick #1 for a 3rd place finish. HT will be picking up speed with some small boat work in the weeks to come.
Ryan Clark and Nelson Remetz continue to show strong performances in the LWT 2x. A close race during Manny Flick#3 yielded a 3rd place finish. There promises to be many more exciting finishes for the LWT boys in the coming weeks!
Both the Men's and Woman's novice teams have been doing a great job jumping into the racing season. In Manny Flick #3 Marianna Catrambone and Luke Evens finished in 5th and 4th respectively in the Novice 1x category. Very impressive considering they only got a couple of days of practice in the gigs!
Lauren Kairys, Elizabeth Reece, Noa Boonin and Oliva Basso had an incredible improvement between Manny Flick #1 and Manny Flick#3. Shaving almost two minutes from their time they steered a great course and finished 4th in a close race.
Keaton Schneider and Tyler Kao stepped up to the plate for the novice boys 2x - finishing 3rd despite never having rowed their line up prior to race day. Good work boys!
In Manny Flick#3 Noah Haney, Ryan Springer, Joel Egbert, and Dan Wood finished 4th in a fast heat of Novice boys 4xs. Their time is the 5th fastest out of all the heats raced - a good sign as we head into the Champ races.
A special shout out to Joel Egbert, Ryan Springer, Noa Boonin, and Marianna Catrambone for a VERY impressive first couple of weeks on the water. Keep up to good work.
Spring Break schedules will be posted shortly. Stay tuned!
