The past weekend, November 2nd-4th the team traveled to Chattanooga, TN to race at the Head of the H***H! Saturday was a beautiful day for racing where the team raced a Women’s Open 4 and a Men’s Novice 4. Both boats came off the water feeling exceptionally well after the race, leaving everything they had out on the water.
While not at the race course the team stayed at a lovely cabin in the forest, where some quality team bonding time was had!

As our seasons comes to end, keep a lookout for more updates as to what the team is up to between now and winter training. Today we are having our end of the year picnic and a boat christening- more updates to come about that soon!

The team had a fantastic time this past weekend in Columbus! We stayed the whole weekend and had some time for team bonding on Saturday. Saturday we had fun with a team challenge of Pumpkin Carving where each team of 3 had just 45min to come up with the most creative pumpkin. Later that night we went to the Hollinger's house for a delicious dinner and finished the night off with tie dying socks in JCU colors!
Sunday was race day at the Speakmon Memorial Regatta! We raced a Mixed Novice 8, Women's Novice 4, Men's Novice 4, Women's Varsity 4, and a Women's Open Pair! A huge congratulations goes out to the Mixed 8 for coming in 1st place and the WN4 for coming in 2nd place in their races and earning medals! During the day we were welcomed by many friends and family who came to cheer on the team, but a special thank you goes out to Lauren Penkala and her parents for bringing breakfast and lunch for the team! We appreciate all the love and support from all!
Look out for us this upcoming weekend as we head to Chattanooga, TN for the H***H!

The team was on the move this weekend. We traveled to Rochester, New York for the Head of the Genesee Regatta. We raced a Women's Varsity 4, Women's Novice 8 and a Men's Novice 4. The WV4 was able to shave off 2+ minuets from their previous race time and it was the novice crews' very first race! We are very proud of all of the hard work the team put in this weekend. On Friday night the team was graciously hosted by the LaMar family where they fed us dinner and let us stay over. On Saturday night the Terzioglu family made us a delicious post race meal. A HUGE thank you to all the support from these families and the other families who came to show support this weekend! We love to see some fans out there showing the team some love! Stay tuned for the rest of the season for more updates on what we are up to!

The team has been busy this past week! This past Saturday, September 15th our WV4 raced in the Head of the Cuyahoga at the Cleveland Rowing Foundation. It was a beautiful day for a home race! The new recruits also learned a team favorite game- Dirty Rotten Apple!

Last night the team participated in a community service event partnering with HandsOn Northeast Ohio, helping paint their new office space. The place looks great thanks to the hard work put in by the team!

This morning we had a Learn to Row followed by a team lunch at Merwins Wharf next to the boathouse. A perfect fall morning for rowing and building community!
