Head Coach Kim Chavers: "I'm incredibly proud of our team's effort today at the Novak Memorial Metropolitan Championships. Our Novice 4+ earning a first-place finish was a fantastic moment for our program, and our Varsity 4+ battled hard for a strong second-place showing against a competitive field. These results reflect the hard work our athletes have been putting in, and it's exciting to see that progress on the water. We'll build on this momentum as we continue to grow and develop as a team."
