Ocean City Alumnus Wins In Rowing Nationals

BETHEL, OH — A former Ocean City High School rower made his mark on the national stage. Colin Stewart and the Undine Barge Club won gold and silver at the US Rowing National Regatta last weekend.

The Undine Barge Club earned gold in the Men's Intermediate Quad with 6:09.156. That put them just ahead of ARION, which finished milliseconds behind at 6:09.160.

The team — featuring Shawn Neal, Jack Higgins, Tom Brady and Stewart — also earned silver in the Men's Elite Quad at 6:14.586. See full results here.

Stewart currently rows for Drexel. He rowed four years for Ocean City High School, becoming 2014 SRAA National Champion with the men's junior varsity eights. He was also part of the freshman eight that won the 2013 Stotesbury Cup Regatta.
