Narragansett Boat Club’s junior rowers sliced through the competition at the Head of the Fish Regatta in Saratoga Springs, New York this past weekend with top 10 finishes in sixteen of the twenty seven races they entered. Senior captain Cassin Edgar-Smith finished the season out strong with a silver medal in both the Boys U19 Singles and the Mixed Junior Doubles. The silver medal in the Mixed Junior Doubles was shared with Co-Captain, Maude Smith-Montross. Silver medals also went to Aidan Lynch and Matthew Doepper in the Boys U17 Doubles. Estelle Pivorunas and Nicola Ranone brought home bronze in the Girls U17 Doubles. Bronze was also awarded to NBC rowers Estelle Pivorunas, Aidan Lynch, Nicola Ranone, and Matthew Doepper in the Mixed Junior Quad 4 on Sunday.
“The Fish is always a great regatta to end the season on”, says Narragansett Boat Club Head Coach, Catherine Starr. “NBC athletes were challenged by the weather, their competitors and rowing in multiple lineups.These athletes definitely handled it all successfully and with big smiles on their faces — that takes a special caliber of person! The Head of the Fish is a great way to see how adaptable the team is and where we stand regionally — racing the Fish as a culmination of the season also lets us know what we need to do moving forward for the winter training season.”
