Henley-on-Thames, England — A crew program born only in 2005, Merion Mercy Academy has won the Groton School Challenge Cup at the 2011 Women's Henley Regatta. Crossing the River Thames finish line 2 1/2 lengths ahead of Lady E. Holles (England) for the most significant victory in the program's young history.
As of now, Merion is the lone American crew to win a championship at Henley today.
The crew was all smiles as it rowed past a collection of family members, along with head coach Mike Brown. Merion will be honored as Henley champions a half hour after the day's final race.
