Stamford AITE's junior Tanner Polo helped Norwalk River Rowing open its spring regatta season on Saturday April 5 with three gold medals at the Greenwich Invitational. Polo rowed in NRRA's Boys JV 8+ which took 1st place.
The regatta, held in Greenwich at Grass Island in a strong wind, featured 13 crews from Connecticut and New York, most of which had been practicing on the water for only a few weeks after a winter that seemed never to end.
The day culminated with a gold medal for NRRA’s boys in the premier event, the first varsity eight. On hand to award the medals was Connecticut State Senator Scott Frantz.
