NCS Rowing Wins Bronze Medal at Nationals

National Cathedral School's varsity crew took third place May 28 at the Scholastic Rowing Association of America Regatta — the national championships of high school rowing.

The Eagles — Sophie Bredenkamp '17, Naomi Davy '18, Hadley Irwin '16, Isabel Bogart '16, Hannah Yazdani '18, Serena Irwin '17, Beata Corcoran '18, Amelia Parizek '18, and coxswain Kendall Green '16 — cut six seconds off their semifinal-winning time in the final to edge out Mount Saint Joseph Academy (Pa.) for the bronze in the women's 8+ grand final. New Trier (Ill.) and Saratoga (N.Y.) took first and second place, respectively.

The result capped a phenomenal season for the NCS crew: Three eights claimed state championships, and two won gold medals at the Stotesbury Regatta. Only once before in Stotesbury history has a school won both the women's 1v and 2v in the same year.

Congratulations to all the team members!
