HT Rowing is off to a great start. At its first competitive race of the season (and its first in a year) the team entered 9 boats and 8 finished in the top three (results below). It was an extraordinary effort by all involved - the coaches, parents and especially the rowers - who get to do it all over again next Sunday.

After this morning's 6am practice, HT Rowers loaded the boat trailer and now eagerly await tomorrow's trip to Philly  for their first regatta in a very, very long time.  The team has 9 boats in competition, (complete line-up below). Since last seen in public, our vintage boat trailer has had a makeover and is now looking quite spiffy. Thank you John Fanelle for the transformation!

Racing has finally returned!!  The Hawks will head to the Schuylkill River on Sunday (4/11) for the first Manny Flick Regatta.  All athletes are required to arrive at the trailer 2 hours prior to race time and must stay at the trailer until dismissed by a coach.  Be prepared for rain, the forecast does not look great.

Reminders:
-PARENTS MAY NOT ATTEND -- We completely understand how disappointing this is, but we cannot be more serious.  If coaches see any parents at the course, your child's boat will not race -- we could be disqualified for the season.
-Bring your tools!
-Bring a change of clothes
-Once arriving at the trailer you must remain at the trailer (no wandering around)
-Masks will be required for the duration of the day (bring extras just in case)

GO HAWKS!!

The Hawks are back in competition with the City of Philadelphia's decision to allow regattas on the Schuylkill. Our 2021 spring racing season begins with the Manny Flick series (April 11, 18 & 25) followed by City Championships (May 1 & 2) and then Stotesbury Cup (May 14-15). HT Rowing is also expected to compete at Mid Atlantic Youth Regatta in West Windsor, NJ (May 8th) as well as Cooper River hosted events. Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make this season a reality. 

HT Rowers were back on the water this week. After months of erging and land workouts, the long awaited return to Cooper River finally happened - just as the temp's dropped. There's a saying among rowers, 'I'm either rowing or thinking about rowing'. For three months, our team could only think about the sport. On Monday, they settled into shells to test muscle memory and 8 weeks of winter conditioning. 

Today the team launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $10,000. The pandemic squashed our typical fundraising activities that feature lots of social gathering element, so we need to make up for lost time. After months of intensive erging, the rowers are eager to be back on the water and back in competition to show that awesome HT Hawk spirit. We know it's been a rough go for so many families, but if you can, any contribution is greatly appreciated. Please click HT Rowers Back In Action
