On March 12 and 13, the Mercer Indoor Row for the Cure went virtual. Utilizing the Concept2 ErgRace platform, the rowing machines were connected virtually for the event. Athletes could see their progress as well as the race leader and their closest competition on the monitor of their rowing machine. While last year’s event included a virtual option, this was the first year that the event was fully virtual.
Eugenia Rodriguez and Devon Reid led the Varsity Girls open and lightweight categories. Julian Thomas and George Drago won the Varsity Boy’s open and lightweight divisions. In the Novice races Vivian Teeley and Alvin Tien posted the quickest times. In the 500 meter sprints, Stephen Gamma won the open division with Bella Jaffe taking the Girls Coxswain and Matt Califano posting the quickest time in the Men’s Coxswain division.

The results for this year’s
In Janury the Mercer Junior Varsity Girls laid down a challenge to the Mercer Varsity Boys and Novice teams to see who could collect the most food to support the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank and the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. The challenge came in the form of a video which can be seen here: Click here to see the video challenge
The complete team stepped up an took on the challenge with amazing results. A total of 3,104.1 pounds of food and essential items was collected. The Varsity Girls contributed over a ton of this total with 2,097.8 pounds. There were followed by the Varsity Boys with 562.5 pounds and the Novices with 443.8 pounds.
“The food drive was a great way to break out of our rowing community bubble and put our team spirit towards helping others.” said Varsity Girls Captain Charvee Dua. “When everyone was bringing in the food, we would carry the donations into the office one by one so it still seemed very small scale. It was amazing to see just how much food we were able to get with all the teams combined. Seeing every single donation add up to a sum of a little over 3000 pounds of food really embodied how much teamwork matters for this team, and it feels really good to unify and do something incredible for our community when we can’t currently do that “something incredible” out on the race course.”
Congratulations to everyone who contributed! A special thank you to the girls’ team for their work in organizing and challenging everyone.
