In the hunt

All of our crews did very well on Sunday. Here the V1 is vying for a medal against Wayland Weston, Shrewsbury, and Lowell.

Boys V2 was robbed after an equipment breakage put them back in the pack during the finals. The 15 second margin between Hingham and Brookline on Tuesday proved that Hingham is a team to be reckoned with. Sunday, Brookline finished 8 seconds behind first - in third place.

As for the Super V or the Flying V as they are referred to, this team made a very respectable 3rd place showing despite water leaking in to their boat.

The boys Novice under the speedy tempo set by stroke John Smoot poured it on in the Heats to quallify for the finals. A tight race in the finals had Hingham falling a little short of a medal.

Girls V1 had a season best row in a very tough heat and just missed qualifying for the finals - by about 1 boat length. Had they rowed in the 2nd heat (slower), they would have easily qualified.

Girls V2 had a very fast race in the finals but missed the medal stand. A good effort for a crew that included novices.

Girls Novices who had a great morning race to qualify for the finals were surprised to be rowing the Currie for the finals and fell back to a respectable 5th place.

Girls 2nd Novice were not rewarded for the hard work that they did during the season. They had an unfortunate equipment break and were not able to finish.

All in all, our crews made great improvements at every level. All of you have helped build the foundation for a great year next year.

Thank you everyone.
