Head of the Occoquan 2009

What a packed day of racing! Excellent work done by all crews!

The Men's 8, and both Women's 8s place mid-table in a division of mixed club and varsity programs, ranking in the top 5 of club programs!

Special props to both the Men's 4 and the Men's Novice 8 who placed 4/28 and 7/21, respectively!

WELL DONE EVERYONE!!!

Occoquan Chase

Today saw the first race for our novice team, and the first race back in Virginia since May for the varsity members.

The Occoquan is a tricky course for coxswains, especially those who are novices, and rowers who don't have experience rowing on bendy rivers. All in all, we'll chalk this one up to a learning experience for our newbies and disregard any unfortunate mishaps with giant inflatable buoys! ;-)

Well done, guys and girls!

Head of the Ohio 2009

Head of the Ohio 2009 saw less than ideal conditions. The winds were high, escalating throughout the day until racing had to be canceled upon the swamping of boats at the starting line.

Despite this, our boats still put forth a good showing against the other club programs that showed up to the regatta!

Keep up the good work, everyone!
