Last week, the Town of North Hempstead honored the high school-aged boys and girls of the Manhasset Crew team for winning seven medals, including five gold, from the New York State Scholastic Rowing Championship on May 11 and 12 in Saratoga Springs.

Medals were awarded to nearly four dozen Manhasset Crew team members in seven different events including Girls divisions of Novice 4+, Senior 4+, Lightweight 4+, Novice 8+ and Junior 8+ and Boys divisions of Lightweight 4+, and Junior 8.

Friends of Manhasset Crew President Suzanne Mills called the achievement a testament to "hard work and dedication all Fall up until the Championships in the Spring."

Councilwoman Anna Kaplan, whose district encompasses Manhasset, said at the Dec. 10 ceremony at Town Hall, "This Town is special because of hard-working young student-athletes like you."
