Competitions | Season Highlights

The highlights of our team's recent seasons are presented below...

↓↑ Season 2011-2012

 

↓↑ Season 2010-2011

  1. Received an invitation to compete in the Head of the Charles Regatta, sending a 4+, which placed 8th out of 77 boats.
  2. Radnor Girls placed fourth in the PSRA points tally and first among public high school teams
  3. At the Mercer Lake Sprints on April 16, our 2nd Novice 8 placed first in its flight, and our Novice 8, 2nd Varsity 8, 3rd Varsity 4 and Lightweight 4 all placed second in their flights. Our Varsity 8 placed second in its heat, advancing to the final which was cancelled due to weather conditions.
  4. At PSRA City Championships on May 8, all four of our boats advanced to the finals, with both the Freshman 8 (A) and Second 8—with seniors Liz Bereznak, Lauren Turner, Emma Howard, Ellen Miller and Rebecca Michelson on board—winning gold, and the Varsity 8 winning silver.
  5. At the Stotesbury Cup Regatta on May 20-21, the largest high school regatta in the country, all three of our boats advanced to finals, with the Varsity 8 winning the gold medal and Robert Engman Trophy, the Freshman 8 taking silver and the Second 8 placing 4th.
  6. Three RGCC boats earned bids to SRAA Nationals in Pennsauken, NJ on May 27-28. Once again, among very stiff competition, our Freshman 8, Second 8 and Varsity 8 boats all advanced to their respective semi-finals, where the Freshman 8 and Varsity 8 placed first to advance to the final. The Freshman 8, having placed first in both its heat and its semi-final, missed the bronze medal by the slimmest of margins—just 2/1000ths of a second. (The Second 8 missed a first place finish in Flick 4 by a similar margin.) The Varsity 8, having also placed first in both its heat and its semi-final, just missed the gold medal by 1.01 seconds in a great race. But the entire crew was content to send off seniors Sophia Blair, Hannah Edelmann, Lexie Katz, Chandler Lally and Alli Webster with a final silver medal to cap off their historic season.
  7. Head Coach Megan Biging recruited two accomplished coaches—Dani Thole and Joe Sullivan—as assistant coaches.
  8. Welcomed our largest freshman class ever (19 athletes).
  9. Six athletes recruited to row in college (Duke, UVA, Cornell, Drexel, Duquesne).
