At the team's first race of the season and their debut at the Winter Watt Farm Indoor Regatta in Lyndhurst, the Hawks did great with 3 athletes bringing home medals. Kudos to Henry Fowler and Callum Coughlin, who both earned silver in their individual races, and to Ian O'Conner, who claimed a bronze medal in the men's junior lightweight category. The next challenge for the Hawks is the Center City Slam, the second of three indoor regattas before transitioning to outdoor racing. (left to right: Ian O'Connor, Henry Fowler, and Callum Coughlin).
Congratulations to Senior Rower Henry Fowler who has committed to row for the Jacksonville University Dolphins, an NCAA Division 1 team. A signing ceremony took place recently at the High School to honor and celebrate Henry's impressive achievement. Attending the event were Henry's parents (Heather and Tom), HTR Coaches Gregg Francis and Keith Ferguson, Assist Principal Kevin Greenway and teammates who interrupted afternoon practice join the celebration.
A big thank you to all the HT Rowers who paused their holiday break to come to the aid of one of the team's launches. A completely non-functional engine required the manual retrieval of the launch from Cooper River for its winter storage and maintenance. This entailed dragging a very heavy launch onto the boat dock, up a steep incline, and then onto a trailer. A smart plan, supported by many strong rowers with robust straps and determination, ensured success. Special thanks to the Equipment Crew for a brilliant solution, and to the rowers who effectively and safely executed the plan.  It could not have been a better game for the winner of our Eagles Ticket Raffle Chris Bell (shown right at game with friend Jennifer Kline). Chris held the winning ticket (# 0090) for a pair of tickets to the Eagles-Cowboys matchup on December 29th. Not only did the Birds clinch the NFC East Title, they walloped the Cowboys and no one in the stands froze. The weather was as awesome as the game. The team is most grateful to the Gartland Family for their generous contribution of the game tickets that helped raise substantial funds for the coming season.
 The Club congratulates senior rower and Team Co-Captain Brendan Savell who recently signed to row for Columbia University, a D1 rowing program consistently ranked among the best in the nation. Brendan follows his two older brothers, also HTRC graduates who rowed for top tier collegiate programs. At the signing ceremony Brendan is flanked by his parents Janet and Paul Savell. Joining the ceremony are (l-r) HT High School Principal Gary O'Brien, and HTRC coaches Gregg Francis, Owen Fitzpatrick and Keith Ferguson.
Congratulations to Kim Wagner of HT who held the winning ticket in this year's Holiday Windfall Raffle. Her ticket #0165 was worth more than $5,300. Thanks to everyone who purchased a tickets in support of the team. You keep us rowing! We also thank Mayor Randy Teague who once again helped the team by drawing the winning ticket last Saturday evening in front of the Municipal Building.
