Coed Varsity Rowing vs Battle of the Blades vs. Blair Academy on 04/05/2025

The Peddie varsity rowing team opened the season competing against Blair Academy in Battle of the Blades at Mercer Lake. Conditions: 8-12 MPH headwind. Cloudy, 49 degrees. Quite rowable.

Battle of the Blades is Peddie’s traditional dual with Blair. Wind has been the reason it has been canceled the last two years. The Hill School also joined racing, though they did not count toward the points trophy. Blair won the trophy by virtue of winning seven of the eight possible events. The Peddie boys 1V defeated Blair, in a come-from-behind victory with a sprint to the finish line.
