The Women’s Junior 4+ started off the day for WTW rowing their best race and fastest time all season. Unfortunately, they drew an unbalanced heat that included four of the six fastest Junior 4’s in the state. With only three able to advance from each heat, and despite easily having the 5th fastest time overall, they could not advance to the six boat final. (Coxswain: Sierra Cole / Rowers: Beth Zhao, Meryn Holtslander, Rachel Hundley, and Alex Schmidt)
The Men's Junior 4+ continued their meteoric rise in the state rankings. They started off the day placing second in their heat and advanced to finals where they placed 5th overall. (Coxswain: Nico Marucchi / Rowers: Jared Keen, Miles Knight, Griffin Adams, and Mark Riesco)
The Women’s Lightweight 8+ competed in a straight final, finishing 2nd
overall and earning automatic invitations to the Scholastic Rowing
Association of America (SRAA) and National Scholastic Rowing Association
(NSRA) National Championship Regattas! (Coxswain: Gwen
Cameron / Rowers: Sierra Boucher, Coryn Mayer, Jayoung Christner, Sara Chan,
Pele Solell-Knepler, Trini Hong, Katie Lam, and Carolyn Wong)
The Men's Second Varsity 8+ was 2nd in their morning heat and placed 3rd overall in finals earning Bronze medals! This is the best 2V8 finish for WTW in VASRA history! Based
on their performance throughout the season and in this championship
race, we expect they will be invited to compete in both SRAAs and NSRAs. (Coxswain:
Ian Bushey / Rowers: Ewen Crunkhorn, John Dobrydney, Val Jack, Larry
Cai, Trevor von Christierson, Fin Merrill, James Magee, and Nate Aanestad)
In
the most grueling test of the day for WTW Crew, our Women's First
Varsity 4+ battled 20 other 1V4 crews through heats, semi-finals, and
finals, where they ultimately finished 6th overall in the state! Based
on their performance throughout the season and in this championship
race, we expect they too will be invited to compete in both SRAAs and
NSRAs. (Coxswain: Erika Schneider / Rowers: Rita Bodrog, Courtney Becker, Hannah Fisher, and Hannah Haines)
In the premier Men’s race of the regatta, the Men’s First Varsity 8+ finished 1st in their morning heat and placed 3rd overall in finals earning Bronze medals and automatically qualifying for SRAA and NSRA Nationals! (Coxswain:
Jax Ohashi / Rowers: Thomas Holtslander, Ryan Applin, Jack Ning, Joe
Killion, Joe Korn, Adam Sami, Jacob Nelson, and Adrian Michel)
