Knecht Cup Results

The Kings Point Varsity Men’s Rowing team was victorious at the Knecht Cup Regatta in Cherry Hill, NJ over the weekend. In finishing first in the Division II/III Men’s Eight, Kings Point Rowing history was made, the first Kings Poing men's eight title ever at the Knecht Cup. The Men’s freshman crew also had a fine showing as they qualified for the semi-finals in the Men’s Frosh Four. The Varsity Women’s Four had to endure rather rough conditions during its qualifying heat. By mid-afternoon the water had white caps which made racing more of a survival competition than a speed race.



The Knecht Cup Regatta is one of largest spring competitions for college rowing, attracting over 50 schools from Maine to Florida and as far west at Wisconsin. It is the first true test of crews on a large scale. Some of the events have as many as thirty teams competing for top honors.
