Freshman Boat Takes Second at Stotesbury Regatta

Brunswick sent three boats to the historic Stotesbury Cup Regatta in Philadelphia, as the Freshman Eight entry posted a program best, second-place finish to lead the Bruin contingent at the largest scholastic regatta in the world.

 

Competing on a 1,500-meter course on the Schuylkill River, the Freshman Eight boat progressed through the 42-boat time trial and won its semifinal heat. Racing in the final, the Bruins finished just 0:01.84 seconds off the gold-medal pace from the local entry, St. Joseph’s Prep (4:36.33). St. Alban's (D.C.) took bronze, exactly one second behind the Bruins.

 

The Varsity Eight, racing in the Boys Senior Eight category, finished 11^th out of 37 entries in the time trials to qualify for the 18-boat semifinals. Brunswick missed out on the Grand Final, the fastest event at the regatta, by less than one second.

 

The Bruins finished fourth in their six-boat semifinal to qualify for the Petite Final (places 7-12). In the Petite Final, the Bruins finished in 11^th place, as St. Joseph’s Prep won the Grand Final.

 

Brunswick also brought a Junior Four boat to the regatta. The foursome finished 10th in their 62-boat time trial to qualify for the semifinals. In the six-boat semifinal heat, the Bruins finished fourth, missing a spot in the Final by two places.
