Mountain Hawks Wrap Up Fall Competitors At Head Of The Schuylkill Regatta

PHILADELPHIA – Lehigh rowing’s closing competitors of the autumn marketing campaign occurred on Saturday morning on the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta simply down the street in Philadelphia. The Mountain Hawks had seven completely different boats competing throughout 4 completely different races between males’s and girls’s fours and eights.

“I’m really proud of the team today,” mentioned Steven J. ’69 & Karen A. Lee head rowing coach Peter Costas. “Once again, they brought a focused and confident tone into a high-pressure setting. The effort in the two championship four events from all three boats was tremendous and very much set the tone from their warmup that it was going to be a positive day for Lehigh. Every boat brought their best selves to the start and emptied the tank; that’s all we’re looking to do.”

Lehigh kicked off their day with the boys’s championship fours race that noticed one boat compete and one boat scratch. The Mountain Hawks boat coxswained by Djordje Marjanovic completed twenty seventh out of 41 boats with a time of 14:15.364.

Next up was the ladies’s championship fours, which had three Lehigh entrants (two racing, one scratched). Lehigh’s boat coxswained by Shreya Dadlani got here in twenty third out of 56 in 15:18.388 whereas Lehigh’s boat coxswained by Grace Ioffe completed thirty fourth in 15:40.219.

In the boys’s membership championship eights race, the ‘Packer Pride’ boat coxswained by Aidan Judge got here away with a stellar third place end out of 45 boats, clocking in at 11:44.629. Lehigh’s second boat, coxswained by Cesca Campise, completed nineteenth at 12:26.387.

“Our race plan was to take the first 2000 meters of the race out fast, which filled us with confidence as we passed some competitive crews early on,” mentioned junior Alex Blaszkiewicz. “It’s great to see our hard work and training pay off with a great end to the season and get to carry our momentum into the winter season.”

“I thought it was a great way to close out the fall season and a great last fall race as a senior, especially being in a boat with everyone else in my class,” mentioned senior David Huang. “Looking forward to the winter season and the phase of training.”

Lehigh’s final occasion of the day was the ladies’s championship eights race through which the Mountain Hawks raced two boats. Lehigh’s prime ending boat, coxswained by Ava Albano, positioned sixteenth out of 27 boats with a time of 13:11.201. The second boat, coxswained by Dadlani, completed twenty first in 13:23.562.

“This trip down the Schuylkill was a great way to cap off the seniors’ fall racing careers,” mentioned junior Jack Wicke. “Having a boat with seven people in the graduating class, our focus going into the race was giving a complete effort and emptying the tanks. I would say we delivered in that regard, putting down a gritty race with a strong result. We overtook a boat in our final sprint and gave an effort that the seniors can be proud of.”

The closing occasion of the autumn season for the Mountain Hawks is the annual Class Day Regatta on Saturday, November 1 on the Steiner/Steinberg Boathouse in Allentown.
