The race features international competition for junior rowers for teams from the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Ritchey competed in two events. She rowed as the A entry in the women’s single and stroked on the women’s quad. She finished second in both events. Crews from Mexico, which sent athletes with previous Junior World Championship experience, edged teams that included Ritchey.
Ritchey will be a senior at Wilton High School and will return to SoNo Rowing. She is eligible to represent the United States in junior competition next year.
