Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – At Sunday’s Hidden River Chase regatta on the Schuylkill River, Ridgewood Crew finished off its 2025 head racing season the same way it had performed throughout the fall: by winning races and bringing home plenty of hardware.
Facing dozens of teams across the mid-Atlantic, Ridgewood rowers topped the field in six different events and scored three other podium finishes on the Schuylkill’s 4,000-meter course. Its six gold medals were twice as many as any other club, helping power it to a team victory with 117.5 overall points, easily outdistancing the second-place club’s 94.75.
