RE crew advances to national championships
RE crew had a record-setting performance at the Florida Scholastic Rowing Association Sculling Championships April 8-9 in Sarasota, winning a school-best four scholastic state championship trophies and qualifying a record three boats to scholastic nationals. The regatta featured nearly 300 rowers and more than 30 teams from around the state.
Ransom Everglades' relatively small team of ten boats faced schools with as many as 40 entries during the two-day event at Nathan Benderson Park. Of the 10 RE boats that participated, eight qualified for event grand finals – another program record.
Gabriella Ouellette '18 won the girls' lightweight 1x, finishing 10 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher to win the Girl's Scholastic Lightweight Single Woman’s Leadership Cup.
Omry Alfi '17, Gabriel Echarte '17, Andrews Segrera '19 and Chris Carlos '17 got third in the boys' varsity 4x, earning the Boy’s Scholastic Varsity Quad Dr. Hector Ortiz Cup and a ticket to nationals.
The rowers were coached by Francisco Viacava, Geronimo Fernandez Barszczuk and Lorenzo Diaz.
