5 Pirates represented their colleges at last weekend’s IRA national championship. Ben Vyzas, ‘24, rowed for Wesleyan’s 2V, placing 3rd and winning the first IRA medal in SHP history. Charlie Latimer, ‘24, rowed for Marist’s 4+, and helped bring them to their first A-final since 2008. Alberto Grossetti, ‘25, rowed for Naval Academy’s 3V, and is the first Pirate to row a D1 8+ at the IRAs. Max Widmer, ‘25, rowed the 4+ for Trinity College, and placed the highest among all the D3 schools in the 4+ category. Michael Balsamo, ‘24, was a spare for Georgetown’s lightweight program. This was the largest representation of SHP alum at the IRAs and we’re extremely proud of our alum and what they’ve accomplished this season!
