Athletics Rowers Capture National Titles    The Episcopal Academy Crew team had a banner day at the  National Rowing Championships in Oakridge, TN this past May. Both the girls’ senior quad and the boys’ senior four captured the National Championship in their respective fields. The girls’ quad took the title with a narrow victory of only six seconds. The boys’ four was seeded fourth, won their heat with the second fastest  time, won the semi-final race, and then won the final in a nailbiter. The boys’ lightweight four also had a strong showing finishing fourth overall, only .7 of a second behind the third place Lower Merion boat.     The boys’ four (l to r): Coach Molly Konopka,  Sarah McGovern ’09 (coxswain), Alejandro Rettig y Martinez ’08, Connor Sullivan ’09, Loren  Mead ’08, and Brian Young ’08.  Members of the girls four (taken at the Stotesbury Regatta): (l to r) Kelly Burke ’08, Meagan Berry ’09, Erin Flynn ’09, Brittany Bruder ’08, and coach Molly Konopka.

Girls’ Squash, Boys’ Tennis, and Girls’ Lacrosse Capture Inter-Ac Titles Teams finish a combined 31-1 in league competition In a repeat performance for all three teams, the girls’ squash team, boys’ tennis team, and girls’ lacrosse team all captured their respective Inter-Ac crowns again this past spring. For the girls’ squash team it was their seventh straight Inter-Ac title, while the boys’ tennis and girls’ lacrosse teams each grabbed their fourth straight Inter-Ac title. Coming off their national championship last year, the girls’ squash team once again tore through the league finishing 8-0 with very strong wins against Penn Charter and Agnes Irwin. The team once again had a very strong showing at nationals finishing second after a hard-fought loss to Greenwich Academy 5-2. The boys’ tennis team took home their fourth straight Inter-Ac title finishing undefeated in the league with a 12-0 record. Highlights of the season included thrilling back-to-back wins over Germantown Academy (which helped Episcopal take home a victory in the annual EA-GA Day festivities) and Haverford, both by a score of 4-3. Likewise, the girls’ lacrosse team captured their fourth straight Inter-Ac title going 11-1 in league play. The team’s only league loss came at the hands of an inspired Baldwin team—a tight 17-16 decision—and the team’s final record was 18-5. Like the boys’ tennis victory, a tight 14-13 victory on May 3rd helped Episcopal grab another school victory on EA-GA Day.
