The Wyoming Seminary rowing team was very excited to welcome associate director of athletics and new head coach, Kathryn Brown, to our community. Coach Kathryn Brown joined assistant coach Peter Froelich this year. As the fall term started, Wyoming Seminary rowing geared up for another amazing fall season and welcomed multiple new rowers. Kai Chenette \u201828, a new rower on the team, mentioned how \u201cThe team consists of a great group of people and the sport itself requires an amount of discipline and passion that [she] admire [s].\u201d

Along with a new coach, the team also received multiple new boats and equipment from Colgate University and generous donors. Some of the new equipment included was the seashell 1x\/2x boat, erg machines, and one men\u2019s and one women\u2019s 4+ boat. The team looked forward to using the new equipment during practice and was excited to kick off this season in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first regatta the rowing team participated in was King\u2019s Head XXXVII Regatta in Bridgeport, PA, on Sunday, September 28th. Multiple Wyoming Seminary boats competed in the race, such as the men\u2019s U15 double, U19 women\u2019s double, U19 men\u2019s single, and the U17 men\u2019s 4+. The men\u2019s U15 double came in third place and had the fastest time over all the sculling boats that had raced for Sem. The U19 women\u2019s double and the U19 men\u2019s single came in last place, but were only a couple of minutes behind the other rowers in their competing category. The U17 men\u2019s 4+ had a great race in a competitive category. Zuzana Havlickova \u201826 said, \u201cThis was an incredible experience for all the rowers, and everyone hoped to continue to improve throughout the season.\u201d

After the Navy Day Regatta on October 12th in Philadelphia, PA, was unfortunately canceled due to bad weather, rowers hoped to finish off the season strong when they competed in their final competition of the season, the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta from October 25th to 26th. Looking ahead, the rowers are excited to continue competing in regattas scheduled for the spring term.\u00a0
