Ridgewood NJ,  on Sunday, April 18, the Ridgewood Crew team participated in the second Manny Flick of 2021.

To give the crews time to size up the competition, local teams came up with a series for the rowers at the “flicks” on Philadelphia’s famous Schuylkill racecourse. The “flicks” are named after Manuel A. Flick, a father who organized the first series in the 1950s. 

Fifty-six clubs participated in this invitational regatta hosted by the Philadelphia Scholastic Rowing Association. All teams were required to adhere to proper COVID-19 protocol to keep athletes, coaches, parents, the race administration, and the neighboring community safe.
