Boys Crew "Clean-up"

The boys crew team truly cleaned up this past week, both on the water and at the prom. We are thrilled to share the exciting news that the boys crew team had an outstanding performance at the recent Gunnery Regatta last Saturday! Not only did they excel in their races, but they also managed to get all cleaned up for the prom later that evening. It was a remarkable feat considering the regatta started at noon and took place over two hours away from Old Lyme.
​
A big congratulations to the boys who secured 2nd place in their two varsity boats and clinched 1st place in their novice boat. They truly showcased their talent and dedication both on the water and on the dance floor at prom.

The Race to Prom!

Last Saturday, we participated in a regatta located in the far northwest part of Connecticut, nearly two hours away from LOLHS. This race was crucial for our qualifying and seeding for the Championships taking place later in May. Despite being aware of the date clash with the prom since the start of the season, I informed the crew during our initial meeting. After some initial resistance (which was understandable), there were no further complaints. The races unfolded exceptionally well, with all the girls' boats, as well as the novice boys, emerging victorious against four other formidable teams. The outcome exceeded  expectations, leaving everyone pleasantly surprised!

Below are a series of before and after photos. The 'before' shots were captured around 2:30 pm at Lake Waramaug during the races, while the 'after' pictures were taken in Old Lyme at approximately 6 pm. To top off the day, they even clinched victory in that final race!
