Eddy Earns Silver at The Gold Cup

The Gold Cup is a 750m sprint race featuring some of the fastest international scullers including the reigning men's and women's world champions. The Hoffman Challenge is the high school / junior event at The Gold Cup.

Brunswick entered one single sculler, Reed Eddy '25, in this event.

Eddy won the Time Trial in a field of 25 scullers in a time of 2:12.870. The top four from the morning Time Trial moved on to the afternoon Final.

In the Final, Eddy raced well but was nipped at the line by less than 3/10ths of a second in a photo finish. Eddy has now placed top two in this prestigious event in two consecutive years.

 

The next day, Brunswick also raced a variety of sculling and sweep boats at the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta. Some highlights include the following results:

 

Novice 4+ ~ 3rd place (out of 30 crews)

Varsity 1x ~ 4th place (out of 53 crews)

Novice 8+ ~ 7th place (out of 46 crews)

The Bruins will close out the fall racing season by hosting Montclair High School (NJ) at the Brunswick Invitational on Sunday, November 5, at 1 p.m. on Cos Cob Harbor.
