In the same week in which Ethan Pirigyi ’26 was competing for the United States National Team at the World Rowing U19 Championships in Europe, middle school students from throughout Western New York hit the water at our perennially popular CHS Rowing Camp.

There was another great turnout as the young rowers enjoyed their first rowing experience or enhanced their skills on the water with one of the nation’s best programs.
 
Coach Jacob Filby ‘14 and President of Rowing Tom Flaherty, along with current Crusader rowers, led the instruction and coaching. 

Youngsters saw time on rowing machines at the home of CHS Rowing, the Buffalo Scholastic Rowing Association, and did training runs on the Buffalo River to Canalside and back.

On Thursday, coaches and current rowers greeted camp attendees at BSRA’s Patrick Paladino Memorial Boathouse with news that Pirigyi and the U.S. Men’s Eight had qualified that morning in Bulgaria for Sunday’s world championship final, where the crew would go on to take the silver medal. 

These great images were captured by CHS Digital Media photographer Dean Gracie ‘27 (gracie_prod).

Families interested in the decades-long winning tradition of CHS Rowing and the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius – ranked by Buffalo Business First as the Buffalo area’s “Best Catholic School” and WNY’s top private school in “Best High Schools for Athletes” – can learn more by arranging an on-campus experience via canisiushigh.org/visit

Be sure to mark your calendar: Our Open House will be held Sun. Oct. 18 and Mon. Oct. 19. 
 
This place is special. Let us show you why.
