Ridgewood NJ,  on Sunday, April 18, the Ridgewood Crew team participated in the second Manny Flick of 2021. The Manny Flicks are a series of preliminary rowing races offered before the official regatta season begins. 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. Spectators are prohibited from attending this year.
