H.S. rowing

• Three Stonington crews medaled Sunday at the Connecticut Public Schools Rowing Association Championships on Lake Waramaug in New Preston. The Bears' first varsity boys' boat was second, with six crews finishing within seconds of one another. Stonington surged over the last 500 meters and almost took the race.

"This year, we had some of the closest races in CPSRA history," coach Tyler Page said in a press release. "Several races required video reviews to decide. A bow ball separated the first two crews in the boys' varsity one race."

Members of the boat were coxswain Alysha Johnson, Brendan McCann, Luke Monteiro, Sam Bunger, John Drago, Tyler Stafford, Nate Bury, Matt Planchon and Ryan Kilcoyne.

Stonington's girls' novice and boys' third varsity boats were each third.

The Bears girls' third varsity was fourth, first varsity sixth and second varsity fifth. The boys' second varsity and novice crews were fifth and sixth, respectively.
