On Sunday, April 22, the Shipley crew team competed in the 5th Manny Flick Regatta in Philadelphia.

The team took to the river for its first race of the season, clearly demonstrating that their training has paid off, with each of the team’s boats performing admirably.

Shipley’s Boys’ Varsity Four and Boys’ Novice Four both took first place by large margins. Second place finishes were achieved by the Girls’ Varsity Double, the Girls’ Varsity Four and the Boys’ Varsity Double. The Girls’ Novice Quad and the Boys’ JV Quad both finished with very respectable third place finishes. The team is looking forward to a full weekend of racing on May 5 and 6 with two regattas: The New Jersey Championships and The Cooper Cup.
