"The Thames Challenge Cup, prize of England's famous rowing tournament, was captured today by eight young oarsmen from the Browne and Nichols School...The American boys, after each victory, gave a fine display of school spirit and overflowing "pep" which added to their already great popularity on the river...Their success was the more impressive when it is considered that the average age of the oarsmen is younger than the average of their defeated rivals. The boys will be received by the American Ambassador at London Monday and then will begin an educational tour of England."

Baseball

Over the years, one of BB&N's most successful sports has been baseball. The team has won multiple ISL titles and there are many college baseball rosters with former BB&N baseball players. Probably BB&N's most well known alum for his athletics, Zak Farkes, is currently in the Boston Red Sox

Football

They were 8-1 the following season but were not invited to a bowl game due to their presence in the Class B and Class D bowls in two of the previous three years.

The Spartans were able to avenge the previous year's defeat to the BB&N Knights, prevailing 28-26 to capture the ISL title and qualify for placement into the 2009 NEPSAC Class A Bowl Game. This win derailed BB&N's hopes of repeating as ISL Champions and completing back-to-back undefeated seasons.

After sanctions were imposed on Lawrence Academy for recruiting violations, including forfeiting their 2009 and 2010 league titles, the Knights have now won three straight ISL Championships.

Other sports

In 2004, the varsity sailing team was undefeated in the regular season. In the past four years, BB&N wrestling has had 6 league champions, 4 league runner-ups, and multiple league placers, and has had multiple representatives at the national tournament and New England tournament.
