NO LAZY SUMMER FOR NEREID JUNIORS
With another 13 boats
entered in this weekend’s Philadelphia Youth Regatta, Nereid juniors are
proving themselves to be fearsome Schuykill River competitors.
At the Independence Day
Regatta, 13 boats of Nereid Juniors raced in 10 events. Big congrats to all
competitors, especially the three boats made the finals:
Women’s junior 4x came
in 2nd in its heat and 2nd in the final
Men’s junior 16 4x took
1st in its heat and 2nd in the final
Men’s intermediate 2x
took 2nd in its heat and 5th in its final
Also, well done Grace Becz
and Helen Becz, who came in 4th in the 1000 meter Mother/Daughter 2x. Grace, a
Nereid member, learned to row in one
month in order to compete with her daughter, an All-American rower for
Rutgers.
