Charlie T. medals at States


Charlie T. won a bronze medal in the M-1X event at the State Championship at Occoquan on Saturday May 11th.  His accomplishment is the first time the school has placed at States since first participating in 2012. Well done Charlie!

"Race 33: 12:12 PM M-1X
Final"
1st - Great Bridge     06:14.6
2nd - Hylton             06:33.1 (00:18.6)
3rd - Sullivan            06:39.4 (00:24.8)
4th - Great Bridge     06:46.0 (00:31.4)
5th - Stone Bridge     06:50.8 (00:36.2)

The conditions on the buoyed, measured 1500 m course were good. Charlie's time of 6:39.4 compares favorable with his 6:33.2 at the regional champs where the course is 150 meters shorter. A better gauge is the separation between the first place finisher, Ryan from Great Bridge who won the regional championships with a margin of  0:37 seconds and Charlie's third place finish. At States, Charlie had reduced it to less than 25 seconds and was moving on the sculler from Hylton who finished 2nd.
