RE wins three state championships in crew

Ransom Everglades rowers won three state titles in sculling at the 2023 Florida Scholastic Rowing Association Sculling Championships April 15-16 in Sarasota. Kathryn Serra '23 and Florine Lijesen '23 won the girls varsity double and Malena Tewari '23 claimed the title in the girls lightweight single, leading RE to a fifth-place finish overall among 20 scholastic teams.
Twenty RE athletes competed in 10 events at the championships, which drew both high school teams and rowing clubs. Under head coach Richie Fredericks, RE placed 18th overall out of the 43 rowing organizations in attendance.  
 
Tewari placed third overall in the lightweight single, posting the best scholastic finish, as Serra and Lijesen won their race outright to claim the gold medal and FSRA Scholastic Champion title. They will compete at the USRowing Southeast Regional Championships on May 13-14 in Gainesville, Georgia, and then the Scholastic Rowing Association of America National Championship Regatta on Memorial Day Weekend in Oakridge, Tennessee. If they do well in Georgia, they will race at the USRowing Youth Championships (highest level of juniors rowing) in Sarasota June 8-11.
