Congratulations to the Maritime Rowing Club Junior Men teams—including New Canaan’s Gustav Neubohn, Ethan Xia and Henry Brauweiler—on opening their spring season with first place finishes in the Men’s Youth Quad and the Men’s Under 16 Coxed Quad at the 2023 San Diego Crew Classic, held recently on Mission Bay. The regatta consists of more than 100 races and draws more than 4,000 athletes. The Maritime Youth Quad of Neubohn, Kevin Crotty (Fairfield), Leyton Tucci (Darien) and Xia led the race from start to finish and crossed the line less than five seconds ahead of the second-place finishers from the Texas Rowing Center. About an hour later the Under 16 Men’s Coxed Quad of Adam Turner (Westport), Matthew Lupinacci (Westport), Brauweiler, William Whitman (Stamford) and coxswain Asher Daniel (Darien) did the same, crossing the finish line eight seconds ahead of the second place crew from Los Gatos, Calif.
