High Point Rowing Club will open its Fall season at the Carolina Chase Regatta at Beaverdam, just outside of Raleigh on Saturday.
High Point will race in middle school, youth novice, youth varsity, and adult masters events. For the Youth rowing squad, the event will primarily be a dual meet with Triangle Rowing Club, the premier rowing program in the Raleigh/Durham area.
“As we begin our third season of rowing, we are excited to return to Beaverdam,” said chief coach Gene Kininmonth. “This is where our team rowed its historic first ever race. It will be fun to see how far we have come as a team.”
Kininmonth said he is also looking forward to some serious competition from Triangle Rowing Club. “Our girls team enjoyed several hard fought boat races with Triangle last Spring and we have made great progress since our new varsity girls coach Allie Davis has come on board with us. This weekend our boys squad enter the varsity ranks for the first time and I will be interested to see how they handle the higher boat speeds.”
Mothers of several members of the team will also race as a Masters Crew on Saturday.
