Shipley had some promising performances at the PSRA City Championships May 3.
The novice boys competed in the four with Ted Rogers as coxswain, Collin Lawler, Jamie Bruno, Josh Stewart and Joel Weiss, and had a good race, having made many technical improvements and coming in 15th in their time trial out of 22 boats.
The novice girls competed in the eight with sophomore Teyanie Watson-Harris as coxswain, Claudia Menzuiso, Eliza Green, Kelsey Beachell, Rachel Menzuiso, Amelia Korfman, Giavanna Goodwin, Labria Wilson and Sami Brown, and made some changes this week trying some new configurations in their lineup and the girls came down the course looking the best they have all season. It was a tough time trial and the girls placed 16th.
The Varsity girls split up their eight this week and competed in the JV and Varsity four events. In the JV boat Jaylah Shannon, Addison Leavy, Katrina Moore, Giulia Acchione and Amy Danoff raced well but just missed out on advancing to the final by 15 hundredths of a second. In the Varisty four Emma Scornavacchi, Amanda Semerjian, Annie Neilson, Zoe Helmers and Anisa Iqbal also rowed well, coming in 10th out of 24 boats in the time trial.
For the varsity boys, many of the Shipley boats advanced to the finals. Doug Ramsey and Van Tingley continued to be successful in the JV double event, placing first in their time trial by over five seconds and advancing to the afternoon final. In the final the boys dominated the course, coming in first place with an eight-second gap between them and the second-place finisher.
Senior Campbell Taylor also rowed well in the varsity single event coming in third out of 20 in the time trial and fourth overall in the afternoon final.
Micah Salamon, Nick Hannon, Roy Xu and Scott Blum-Woodland had a fine day in the JV quad, coming in fifth on the morning time trial and finishing sixth in the final.
Deondre Jordan and Zack Brida raced in the boys varsity double event, and with some very tough competition they had a solid race, coming in 17th in their time trial.
