Taking place at the Kathryn Bennett race course in Milford, Michigan, the KITS were looking to make a statement with regionals coming up in two weeks. All of the hard work every rower put in over a gruesomely sluggish winter was shown, with the Kits putting in their best showing at a regatta in program history.

Like most regattas, the first half of the day is reserved for qualifying. Around 20 crews (average for each event) duel it out for a chance to get A finals (top 8 times). 12 out of the 16 boats ETHS sent out made the top 8 and had the opportunity to fight for a podium spot.

After a quick lunch break, the crews were back at it, and this time it was for all the marbles. The first three final events were the Men's&nbsp;novice 8+, Women's Varsity 8+,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Women's 2nd Varsity 8+. All three boats got on the podium, and the Varsity and Novice crews were able to beat out third to obtain a second-place medal.

On the Varsity Boys side, they gave an impressive showing, specifically from their&nbsp;Varsity 4+, 1st Varsity 8+,&nbsp;and&nbsp;third Varsity 8+.&nbsp;Specifically,&nbsp;the third Varsity 8+&nbsp;had an impressive showing. After barely squeaking into finals with a 7th-place finish, they showed their determination and clawed their way past the other crews, and got a second-place finish. Also,&nbsp;the men's Varsity 8+&nbsp;(1V) were able to beat rivals Northville and Huron to secure the last step on the podium.&nbsp;

“We didn't have a great start in the first race, but in the second race, we really buckled down and got it together. We don't row in a 4 often, so for us to be able to pull out a third is something to be really proud of,” said Captain of Boys Varsity Andrew Newman.&nbsp;
Finally, throughout the day, ETHS picked up several podium finishes: Women's Varsity 2x/2 (2nd place), Men's Varsity 4+ (3rd place), and Women's Novice 8+ (2nd place). Specifically, rowers Cayden Rodgers and Izzy Franconeri were able to pull off Evanston's first 2nd place in a sculling event.
The Kits have a lot to be proud of, and for such a young program, it's only the beginning.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“A few of our seniors were leaving, so it felt good to do so well during their last regatta. For the seniors in our boat, it was amazing to get them some more hardware,” stated Men's Varsity member Kubla Domsky. Written by Ryder Bingaman, Junior on ETHS&nbsp;Rowing team
