HTCC finished up a fantastic weekend at the SRAA National Championship on Cooper River yesterday, coming away with two medals, including a gold in the freshman girls quad!

Alex Tingley started the day off for the Hawks in the girls varsity single semi-finals.  Although she didn't advance to the finals she had a great race and we are looking forward to seeing her achieve great things in the coming years!

Emily Donohue and Morgan Van Dexter came next in the girls varsity double semi-final.  They had one of their best races of the year, finishing in fourth place.  They just missed out on making the finals.

In the first final of the weekend for the Hawks, Fiona Steele, Maya Jacobsen, Olivia Hollingsworth, and Sara Ladik came to the line as one of the favorites.  They finished with the second fasted time in the heats and came into the final looking to take the gold.  They did just that as they pulled away from the field halfway through the race and continuing on to a dominating 8 second victory, earning themselves a gold medal and the title of NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!

The boys varsity quad of Aidan Cronin, Vince Fitzpatrick, Jack Haigh and Jack Savell went into the finals with the fourth fastest time in the heats.  They knew they would need to throw down an amazing piece to medal in lane 6.  The boys started down but fought back, walking through Conestoga in the second half of the race and finishing in third place, earning a bronze medal!

Great job to all athletes that participated this weekend, and all of the other athletes who's work each day of the season pushed the whole team to be as fast as it could!

The Hawks will return to the Schuylkill in two weeks for the National Schools Championship Regatta.  GO HAWKS!!!

Due to impending storm - race officials have cancelled the lunch hour and moved up the times for afternoon races. The girls freshman quad will race at 12:10 pm and the boys varsity quad will race at 1:55 pm.

HTCC completed day 1 of racing at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta on Cooper River today with three boats advancing to the semi's and finals! The rain held off for the most part but the winds did not. Almost every crew faced the strongest head wind we've seen this season but they didn't let it stop them!

Before getting into a full recap of the day please see below for tomorrow's schedule.

Saturday Schedule and Lineups:
Boys Senior Double: Nick Perks/Dave Wakeley
-Semi-Final: 9:30 -- Top 3 advance to the final
-Final: 3:46
Girls Freshman Quad: Olivia Hollingsworth/Maya Jacobsen/Fiona Steele/Sara Ladik
-Final: 2:01 -- Lane 4
Boys Senior Quad: Jack Savell/Aidan Cronin/Jack Haigh/Vince Fitzpatrick
-Final: 4:21 -- Lane 1

Friday Time-Trials Recap:
Novices Kerry and Quinn started the day off for the Hawks racing in the junior double event. They had a solid race, defeating 11 more experienced crews and finishing 25th overall.

Mason and Matt followed in the boys junior double. The finished in 19th place overall.

Olivia, Maya, Fiona, and Sara overcame a few mishaps during their time-trial and still managed to finish in second place overall! The girls look to continue their fantastic season tomorrow at 2:01 when they race in the finals!

Anthony, Tristan, Nolan, and Jay raced in the junior quad just as the wind really started to pick up. They needed top six to advance to the finals and fell just short, finishing in 7th place overall. Even though we won't be seeing them in the finals, they had a great race!

Emily and Morgan were next up in the girls senior double. They faced a 20 mph head wind but rowed well through it. They finished 17th overall.

Nick and Davey needed to finish in the top 12 to advance to the finals in the boys senior double and they did just that, finishing in 11th overall!

Jack S, Aidan, Jack H, and Vince overcame their size disadvantage in the head wind and managed to race their way into tomorrow's finals in the boys senior quad, finishing in 5th place overall!

Racing in a single is hard enough in good weather. You need to be strong willed and determined to be able to push yourself through the pain that comes during a 1500 meter race by yourself. When you add in a strong headwind it is that much more difficult! As a sophomore, Alex showed her grit in one of the toughest races of the day during the worst of the wind and against much older and more experienced competition! She didn't advance to the finals but she will be back again next week at the SRAA National Championship!

For the first time ever, the Stotesbury Cup Regatta will be a home race for HTCC!  It's going to be rainy all weekend so come prepared with extra clothes.  Since it is now a home race, all athletes need to arrive at the boathouse 90 minutes prior to race time.  Take advantage of the afternoon off today and get some rest!  

Due to a combination of weather conditions and the fact that there is not as much room at the finish line, race organizers had to space out the time-trials a bit more than originally scheduled and some semi-finals were cut out.  Please see below for the updated race schedule:

GO HAWKS!!!

HTCC had a great weekend on the Schuylkill River at the PSRA Philadelphia City Championship!  The club sent eight of ten crews to the finals and came away with four medals!

In his first week in a single ever, Jon Weber put together a fantastic time trial for the boys freshman/novice single on Saturday, finishing 6th overall and earning a spot in the finals.  He moved himself even further up in the standings on Sunday with a 5th place finish!

Quinn Johnston and Kerry Dietrich came next for the Hawks, finishing fifth place overall in the time trial for the girls freshman/novice double on Saturday and earning a spot in the finals on Sunday.  The girls were not satisfied with fifth place, however, and raced themselves into third place overall in the finals on Sunday, earning themselves a bronze medal!!

In their first week in a double, John Buan and Owen Fitzpatrick also had a great time trial, finishing sixth overall in the boys freshman/novice double and earning a spot in the finals on Sunday!  They rowed well in the finals, and finished 6th place overall!

Olivia Hollingsworth, Fiona Steele, Maya Jacobsen, and Sara Ladik looked to continue their unbeaten streak this weekend.  Facing tough competition, the streak was broken in the time trials as they finished second overall in the girls freshman quad, advancing themselves to the finals on Sunday.  They were not happy at all with this result and came back Sunday ready to make a statement.  They did just that, racing to a seven second victory and earning the club's only gold medal of the weekend!

Alex Tingley moved from the double to the JV single this weekend, and showed she can move any boat she's in!  She finished in third place in Saturday's time trial, and then continued on to do the same in the final, earning a bronze medal!

Mason Weaver and Matt Weller were next up for the Hawks in the boys JV double.  They put together a strong piece a difficult time trial, but ultimately fell just shy of advancing to the finals,  They finished 10th overall in a tough field!

Anthony Johnson, Tristan Burnham, Nolan McHugh, and Jay Reinert raced next for the Hawks in the boys JV quad, finishing in 6th place overall in Saturday's time trial and earning a spot in Sunday's finals!  They weren't satisfied either, and moved themselves into fourth place in the finals!

In the girls varsity double, Emily Donohue and Morgan Van Dexter had a solid time trial, finishing in sixth place, earning themselves a place in Sunday's finals.  They came into the finals ready to move themselves up further in the standings and they did just that, finishing in fifth place overall!

Dave Wakeley and Nick Perks followed the girls in the boys varsity double.  They faced tough competition and put together a great race, finishing 7th overall.

Aidan Cronin, Vince Fitzpatrick, Jack Haigh, and Jack Savell were the last race of the weekend of the Hawks in the boys varsity quad.  Their race was a straight final, but the competition was extremely tough.  The boys jumped out to an early lead over the field, and remaining in medal position throughout the race, finishing in third place overall and earning a bronze medal!

The club will return to the Schuylkill River on May 18th and 19th for the 91st annual Stotesbury Cup Regatta!

GO HAWKS!!!
