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.

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. 

It's time to enjoy a relaxing evening out at the PBC boathouse. Please join us this Saturday, May 1 from 7-10 p.m.

This is a casual, parent only, event. Please bring your own beverages; beer, wine or soft drinks, and one of the following:

The Ted Pheonix Regatta, the lower boat championship, will be held this Saturday May 1 on the Occoquan, from 8 am - 1 pm
