They've rowed together as a group through the years so it was only fitting that five members of Friends of Shenendehowa Crew celebrated their individual commitments to row next year at the collegiate level together March 26 inside the Shenendehowa High School East Library. Shenendehowa senior rowers Abby Knight (Wisconsin), Jennifer McKay (Syracuse), Ian Fisher (United States Naval Academy), Pat Ballantyne (Franklin Pierce) and Laura Neely (Bucknell) were joined by their coaches and parents to acknowledge their decisions.
