Blair’s Women’s Varsity 4+ delivered an outstanding performance, earning a third-place finish, while the Men’s Varsity 4+ placed eighth against a strong field—promising signs for the championship stretch of the season.

While the top crews raced in Mercer Lake, the remainder of the squad traveled to Philadelphia to compete on the Schuylkill River in the Manny Flick Series.
