The spring 2025 rowing season is underway! Check back here for updates on each of our team’s exciting regatta experiences.
Scrimmage with Alexandria City High School – March 22, 2025
It was a joy to kick off our season with a decades-long tradition—our annual scrimmage against the Titans of Alexandria City High School. We enjoyed a beautiful morning of racing followed by a fun and delicious pancake brunch, and we’re so grateful to the Titans for hosting us at the Dee Campbell Rowing Center in Old Town. “I love that we start our racing season in this way each year,” said Head Coach Kara McPhillips. “There were some fantastic moments, but the one consistent thing I saw was each boat trying their hardest. It just keeps getting better from here.”

We had beautiful weather for W-L’s first official 2025 regatta at the idyllic St. Andrew’s School. Eleven boats competed, with all winning 4th place or higher. And each and every boat gave it their all and made marked improvement. A special congratulations to the Boys 3V8 and Girls N8B who placed first in their heats, and sincere thanks to all the family members and friends who made the long drive to feed the team and cheer us on. Go Generals!
