Area rowers launched the 2024 crew season on the Schuylkill last Sunday, enjoying unusually warm weather conditions for mid-March.
Germantown Friends won the girls' JV double race, and in the varsity quad events, the Tigers had their girls place second and their boys finish third. Each quad was competing in the faster of two flights.
Springside Chestnut Hill Academy entered three boats in the two sections of the girls' JV quad event. The Blue Devils came away with a first place and two second-place finishes. Later, they took second in the girls' varsity quad.
Germantown Academy ended up racing only two boats, but got second in the boys' JV double and third in the girls' JV double.
The boys' varsity double from Penn Charter was the runner-up in that event. In the quads the Quakers had three third-place showings, one from the boys' varsity and one each from the girls' varsity and JV.
For powerhouse Mount St. Joseph Academy, it was business as usual in the varsity eight event. The Magic entered one boat in each of the three flights, their true varsity eight, their JV eight, and what will probably become their second eight. All three won handily, with the narrowest margin of victory being a nine-second gap.
