On Saturday March 26, 2011 the Bishop Ireton Rowing team
Cardinals gather to celebrate Cindy Cole Cup victory on Saturday
competed in the Fourth Annual Cindy Cole Cup on their home course, the Anacostia River, with great conditions for racing. Behind strong showings from all boats across the team the Cardinals took home the Overall Points Trophy, Men’s Points Trophy, the Bishop’s Cup (head to head with Bishop O’Connell), and tied for first in the Women’s Points Trophy with Walter Johnson High School.
The Varsity Women started a winning streak by coming up victorious in the Varsity 8+ event for the second week in a row. The Women’s Junior Varsity 8+ won their individual races as the only other Ireton boat to win but six finished in second place and two others came in third to secure the team trophies.
“I am very proud of our girls Varsity boat for pulling out a strong win this morning,” Bishop Ireton Head Coach Eric Gehrke was quoted as saying, “They continue to meet expectations as we head into faster races each week. The Varsity boys also had a strong showing and came out fired up to compete which, in my mind, is the first step in the right direction.”
