Get those oars in the water because St. Edmund Prep is the first Catholic high school to offer competitive rowing.
The inaugural crew team, christened “The Eagle,” includes rowing seniors Kevin Llama, Anthony LiBassi, and Martin Witkowski; juniors Benjamin Kellk, Tyler Reynolds, and Shelby Lau; and sophomores Amanda Mattioli and Liana Sprance.
Master coach Marice Love leads the rowers in an intensive training program to get those arms and legs in shape on brand-new portable ergs to prepare for regattas.
The team will begin competing in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Rowing league in the fall.
Standing O says, “Let the waves take you. Row strong and long.” Can’t wait to give out Standing Os for all those first-place awards.
