Brunswick won its event (Men's Youth Fours) at the 2024 Head of the Charles Regatta for the first time in school history.
The young crew of stroke George Kapp '26, Phil Martone '27, Quinn Evans '26, bow Rhodes Pollack '27, and coxswain James Koester '27 started in Bow #2 (again) this year after Brunswick crews had taken second place the past two years. The Bruins were able to pass last year's winners from California in the first mile of the race along Magazine Beach. Koester, in his debut on the Charles River, moved into clear water and steered a tight line all the way home over the famed three-mile course. Thousands of spectators lined the banks of the river on a beautiful fall weekend in Boston at what is the largest three-day regatta in the world.
The Bruins have now been the top scholastic program in their event four years in a row, but this was the first time that the school has cracked into the winner's circle at the regatta.
Brunswick became the first American high school crew to win the Men's Youth Fours event (Duncan Cup) since 1979.
