"We're proud of the whole team, but the Silver Medals finish in the Boys Four with Cox capped the weekend -- to win a Silver in a regatta such as the Schuylkill is something you'll never forget.", said Jason Moskowitz, Scullers' Director of Rowing.

Florida State Co-Champion Sarasota Scullers turned in elite caliber performances this weekend at the 40th annual Head of the Schuylkill regatta in Philadelphia, one of the most storied regattas in the US and drawing over 5400 competitors and almost 1200 crews.  Competitors came from 21 US states and six countries.

“After winning our first two statewide regattas in early October, our rowers were eager to race against some the best teams in the  US.  The Schuylkill always draws the best, and our kids rose to the occasion.  We’re proud of the whole team, but the Silver Medals finish in the Boys Four with Cox capped the weekend — to win a Silver in a regatta such as the Schuylkill is something you’ll never forget.”, said Jason Moskowitz, Scullers’ Director of Rowing.
