The Wolfpack travel to Zanesville, OH for the Midwest Scholastic Rowing Championships this weekend to qualify for the Scholastic Rowing Association National Championships. The boys crew team sent boats in three categories - junior boys 8+, junior boys 4+ and the senior boys 4+. All three boats raced solid time trials to secure spots in the semi-finals. The senior boys 4+ raced a tough semi-final and despite a solid race, missed out on a place in the finals, and a chance at qualifying for nationals, by 2 seats. The junior boys 4+ put down a solid semi-final to advance to the finals. In perhaps one of the most exciting races of the weekend, the junior boys 4+ was sitting in 4th/5th coming into the final 500m of the race. They executed a blistering sprint to push solidly into 3rd with 5 strokes left and thus securing a berth to nationals. This crew of Kristoff Petersen, Joseph Joyce, Aidan Skelding, Ryan Gallagher and Patrick Metcalfe will travel to Camden, NJ in two weekends to race against the top scholastic crews in the country.
