National regattas cap Cardinal rowing season

615May 15, 16 saw the Bishop Ireton rowers hit the road for the first of two national level regattas held in Philadelphia area.  First, the team competed in the Stotesbury Regatta in Philadelphia (the world’s largest high school regatta) where the Men’s Varsity 4 finished in 15th place (out of 60 boats) overall. The Women’s Varsity 4 finished in 16th place overall in a field of 57 boats. The Cardinals’  women’s double as well as the women’s novice quad rowed hard, but did not advance to the semi-finals.

Bishop Ireton rowed in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, May 22, 23  at the Scholastic Rowing Association of America (SRAA) National Regatta where both the men’s and women’s Varsity 4 boats competed hard. They both were behind in their opening heats in fifth place and then finished strong in the last five hundred meters to come in third.

This sent them to the repechage round instead of going straight to semi-finals. In their repechage heat for the women, they ended up in a very tight race pulling very hard at the end to finish first. The men’s boat also was in a tight race and ended second in a close finish. The two boats then advanced to semi-finals where they fell short and did not advance to finals. The women’s boat finished 18th overall and the men’s boat finished 17th overall. Bishop Ireton made a good, strong showing after a season filled with adversity.

We are very proud of our entire team and look forward to a strong group of men and women returning to BI Crew next year!623
