Stotesbury Cup Regatta.2010

Washington-Lee Crew sent five of its 8 shells to Philadelphia this past weekend to compete in the prestigious Stotesbury Cup Regatta.  With 5,500 athletes, racing almost 1,000 boats from 194 schools, Stotesbury 2010 became the oldest and largest high school rowing competition in the world to date.

Weather Cuts State Championship Short

High wind conditions with gusts over 40 mph, kept the Virginia State Rowing Championships at Occoquan from completion last Saturday.  The VASRA State Championships bring out almost 1,500 of the best varsity rowers from the region's top programs.  However, to ensure the safety of the athletes, only the heats (events 1-31) were able to be completed.  The race finals have been rescheduled for Sandy Run on Saturday, May 22.
