"Crew seemed like a nice idea to me... To my naïve eyes, it looked like a laid-back, social sport; I guess I put it in the same class as badminton, or canoeing." Read Mary Rowen---Bluesky: @maryjrowen.bsky.social piece from HuffPost (it's from 2017, but it's timeless!). huffpost.com/entry/so-your-…

Congrats to our YHS teammates rowing in the #headofthecharlesregatta this weekend in Boston! Rowing with Yorktown can be just the beginning of your crew experience! cc: TBC Racing Head Of The Charles










Looking for a great book (or documentary) while you wait for the weather to warm up? Check out "A Most Beautiful Thing: The True Story of America's First All-Black High School Rowing Team," by arshay cooper amazon.com/Most-Beautiful…

I agree! arshay cooper was one of the first guests on our podcast in 2018, back when "Suga Water" was the name of his book! And the rest is fortunately, history!


Crew tryouts begin on or around 2/21. Students should be prepared to attend 3-5 days of tryouts and need to have a valid VHSL Athletics physical form on file and should submit the form along with COVID vaccination information to [email protected] prior to 2/18.
