2022 Henley Royal Regatta- Diamond Jubilee Cup

The Redwood girls went into England and took on the best scullers in the country. For 10 days they trained on the Thames as they awaited their first-round match. Caroline, Meena, Georgia and Lila took down each English crew – Hartspury, Tideway Scullers, Wycliffe and made it to the grand finals. The sheer determination it took for these girls to race 2112 meters, side by side through some of the worst water, and get themselves into the Finals at Henley Royal Regatta. Most firstcomers never make it past the second round. We had alumni Itai Almogy (Yale) and Andrew Macmillen (Tufts) on the shoreline cheering for us. In the finals, Redwood came out strong off the start but the women from Claire’s Court Boat Club had that last gear in the last 200 meters. Final - Claire’s court beat Redwood by 2/3 length in 7:35.
