Our Girls Novice 4 team competed and won gold at the HVRL Novice Championships held on May 19th at Pinecliff Lake in West Milford NJ. They led for the entire race and easily won their heat by 6 boat lengths. Logging their best time of the season with a 6:19 finish, this was the lowest time for both heats in their category. These freshman girls have been on a roll and surely will continue to impress us. A bright future lies ahead as varsity rowers next year! Congratulations to our novice coach Evan Russell on his success with these young ladies.
