Rowing

Despite tough losses to Westtown and Shipley, the team’s resilience led to wins against ANC and Barrack. Their playoff spot was secured before the final game, but they fell short in the FSL playoffs against Friends Central. Team Captain Sam Tchoumandrine ’25 had a stellar season, scoring 13 goals and finishing his GS career with 36, placing him second in school history. Shahmeer Waseem ’25 was also recognized for his achievements and was named a Phillyburbs.com Athlete of the Week. Sam, Shahmeer, and Conner Jennings all earned all-league honors for their outstanding play this season.
