Last Updated: 10.Aug.2016

Last week 9 GRP and SBTC rowers headed west to St. Catherine's Ontario for the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta - sort of the unofficial summer championships for North America. They had a full schedule ahead of them as:

Karli Kirk-Goerke
Madison Lips
Andrew MacMillen
Jennifer McIlvane
Brooke Mooney
Andrew Reed
Sarah Kate Rogers
Elizabeth Vogt
Parker Washburn

were entered a total of 34 across 26 events! Whew! But it was all worth it when the medal count came in:

SR W1x - 2nd: Maddie Lips, by under 0.5s
SR W1x - 4th: Liz Vogt
U23 LW1x - 5th: Jenny McIlvane
SR W2- - Win: Lips/Vogt
SR W2x - Win: Lips/Vogt
M1x Dash - 5th: Andrew Reed
W1x Dash - 3rd: Vogt
Champ W2- - Win: Lips/Vogt
Champ M2- - Win: Reed/Parker Washburn
Champ W1x - 4th: Lips
Champ W1x - 6th: Lips

Plus the GRP/SBTC combo put together a composite mixed 8+ that won the dash for cash! In addition to the results above, Brooke Mooney, Karli Kirk, Sarah Kate Rogers, and Jenny Mcilvane had an impressive, photo-finish semi-final and just narrowly missed out of the final in the Senior women’s quad, having never rowed together before racing, 

Much of the rowers are headed out for a much needed break, while Ben Davison, Sam O’Brien, and Nick Montalvo prep for World Champs in Rotterdam, the Netherlands starting August 21.

Congrats to all the athletes, and good luck to the SBTC rowers who'll be returning to their college programs soon. You can find full Henley results at the website.
