High Point, NC – High Point Rowing Club celebrated its 4th Anniversary this past weekend with an Anniversary Row & Class Races, which included all of the club’s available rowers, followed by a potluck brunch for rowers, families and friends at Oak Hollow Lake. Included in the festivities were almost 40 rowers from the club’s newly formed chapter in Greensboro, known as Greensboro Crew.
All nine of the club’s available eight-man crews, as well as three fours, lined the start of the race course at Skeet Club Bridge to race the full extent of Oak Hollow Lake to Johnson Street Bridge. High School crews were assigned line-ups by class year and the Masters were assigned boats by the decade of their birth.
The race was a procession for the high school Sophomore Crew led by coxswain Morgan Epling, which led from start to finish.
