This past weekend the Senior Women’s Quad, the Senior Men’s Lightweight Double, and the Junior and Senior Men’s Eight traveled to Philadelphia for the Annual Stotesbury Cup Regatta – the largest high school regatta in the world.  The Women’s Quad advanced to the semi-final round and came away with a bronze medal.

Also this weekend, our Senior 72kg Men’s Double won a Silver Medal at the Welland Invitational Regatta.

Recently, the Ridley College Track and Field team travelled to the Oshawa Civic Recreation Centre and York University to compete in the CISAA 2013 Track and Field Championship Meet. A top four finish at CISAA means an athlete advances to the Metro Regional Track and Field Meet to compete for a spot at OFSAA.

CISAA saw many of our athletes attain Personal Bests and place within the the top four spots in a number of events.
