Results of March 27th Spring Fling

Here's my message to the faculty and staff:

All:
After enduring seven hours outside on Saturday (wind chill ~38 degrees) we came away from our second regatta better than we did on the first. Schools competing were BSCHS, NA, NC, CH, Cox, First Colonial, Princess Anne, Maury, Granby, Hickory, and James River. We took second place in three events and first place in one (the Men's Novice 4 event.) Again, are holding our own against the private schools, with only a combined total of four of their crews besting ours with head-to-head competition in nine different events. Congratulate these students when you see them:

Results of March 20th Season Opener

Below is a copy of the e-mail I sent to the faculty and staff on the 21st.

All:


Twenty seven BSCHS students competed in rowing races on Lake Whitehurst at the Botanical Garden Saturday. We rowed boats in eight events, six of which included our novice rowers. While we're not up to speed against the public school programs who row year-round, we did very well against our private school (TCIS) counterparts who also only row in the spring. Our men's varsity 4 beat Norfolk Collegiate in the water and finished ahead of Norfolk Academy and Broadwater on time (those two schools rowed in a different heat.) Our women's varsity 4 beat Norfolk Academy in the water and was second to Norfolk Collegiate on time (they rowed in a different heat.)

If you see these folks tell them "well done."
