Girls Row Stockton Races Hard at Head of the Port

Our team went to our first official regatta this Sunday, Head of the Port in Sacramento. We entered in the Women's Junior 2x and the Women's Junior Novice 4x. Both boats raced hard and had a blast!!

Bow Seat - Brooke Crowder, Sophomore
2 seat - Elise Hill, Junior
3 seat - Khushi Kooner, Sophomore
Stroke seat - Hannah Noe, 7th grade

​These girls certainly found their competitive racing spirit on Sunday!!

The Double raced at 10:50 with two of our seniors, Maya Weldon-Lagrimas and Kaitlin Schroeder. (Maya in Stroke, Kaitlin in Bow). The girls battled high winds, white caps, and an unpredictable course to come in second place in their first time racing together!

We are so proud of our team! This weekend, the girls had to truly trust each other. Rowing in a regatta is a pure test of integrity and commitment; without these things, the racers cannot find their limits. The girls have been practicing hard to build the strength of their relationship, and it paid off on the race course.
