April 16th - Andover Crew racing Kent, Hingham High and Belmont Hill. Page 2

This was the second week of racing. We raced 3 girls' and 2 boys' boats of Kent, 2 girls' and 3 boys' of Hingham High and two boys' boats of Belmont Hill.
Kent and Belmont are two of the oldest school rowing teams in New England. Both have been racing since the 1920s. Andover won 6 of the eight races. Kent and Andover have a long intertwined shared history. John Dent, Stewart MacDonald and Kathryn 'Luc' Green all coached at both schools. Hart Perry, Bill Brown and Pete Washburn we all good friends. Stewart MacDonald coached Luc green at Boston University and Dale Hurley on the National team.
And so the two schools honor their past by racing for two trophies. The girls race for the Hart Perry cup donated by Stewart MacDonald and the boys race the the Perry and Brown trophy donated by John Dent to replace the Dent oars.
This year Andover won the girls' trophy and Kent won the boys' trophy.
Be safe.
