Six of the seven boats launched by The Agnes Irwin School finished third or better in the 5th Manny Flick.

“We had 22 girls competing today, and most of our boats had new line-ups,” said AIS head coach Josselyn Delussey. “We’re especially proud of our freshmen rowers, who competed in their very first race, as well as our upperclassmen, who performed admirably the day after their prom.”  

Three AIS boats placed second in their heats: the Freshmen/Novice 2x (Shreya Mathawan, Naya Weems), the Freshmen 4x (Peyton Bond, Madeline Briddell, Ella Haines, Liza Pendergast), and the Ltwt 4+ (Maya Brown-Hunt, Gabriella D’Arcangelo, Juliana Jaskot, Sydney McCarthy and coxswain Rosie Sokoll).
