Philadelphia City Rowing

In only our third year of competitive racing, PCR entered 10 boats at the Philadelphia City Championships, with 5 boats making it through to the finals and 2 coming home with silver medals.

PCR athletes, families, and coaches handled the extra stress and logistical challenges of racing away from home with great professionalism this weekend as the team traveled to Camden, NJ for the Cooper Cup.  There was a lot of exciting and aggressive racing from all the PCR crews, and several came home with medals.

With 587 boats from 86 high schools, Manny Flick #5 was bigger than last year’s Dad Vail Regatta (560 boats)!

PCR was anxious to get back on the water and see where they stacked up against the rest of the PSRA following spring break; training twice-a-day on the water while many of their classmates went on vacation, or at least took an actual break from their busy lives!

Navy Day-Girls' Results

PCR successfully kicked off its 3rd year of fall racing at the Navy Day Regatta this past Saturday. What started out as a chilly morning for the elite and masters races turned into a beautiful fall afternoon on the Schuylkill River as the High School crews took to the course.

PCR raced on Sunday, March 25th.  What started as a dreary cold day ended up sunny for the PCR rowers.  The Girls Novice 8+ finished in first place and the Boys, Novice 8+ finished in 2nd place.  The Girls Varsity 4+ finished third while our Boys 4+ finished in second place.  Although the rowers seemed to catch a few "crabs" during the day, they continued to battle and finish strong.  Congrats to all the rowers and coaches!
