* Scoring point system changed after the 2010 regatta. Point totals were not maintained prior to 2010.
St. Mary's Preparatory has been rowing on Orchard Lake for 42-years. Our spring regatta began as a Match Race with St. Ignatius and St. John's. In 2010, the regatta was changed to a sprint cup challenge. Ladies were added the same year and the competition grew to 10-crews. In 2011 the scoring system was changed to it's current format (see bottom). By 2012, the regatta had attracted 16-crews from Ohio and Michigan; a 60% growth in 2-years. In 2013 we were honored to host teams from Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan. 2016 was our largest event with 20-crews, 247-entries, and 674-athletes.
Following the 2012 regatta, the school and booster club decided the event needed to change to an invitational. In 2014, the event's name changed to the St. Mary's Prep Laddie Cup in honor of Coach Jack 'Laddie' LeBlanc who coached at St. Mary's from 1976 to 1996, and was Head Coach from 1979 to 1996.
The event is the weekend prior to the Midwest Championship and 2-weeks prior to the State of Michigan Championship. This allows for crews to fine tune and make adjustments prior to the Championhips.
