HOCR Weekend!

It's Thursday before the Head of the Charles and the Northeastern Women have four boats racing. The Varsity will race in the Championship 4+ and Championship 8+ race on Sunday at 3:17 pm and 4:17 pm, respectively. The freshman will race in the Club 4+ and Club 8+ on Saturday 12:23 pm and 1:12 pm.

What does that mean? The Championships events are open to anyone without restriction, so you'll find Princeton racing against the U.S. National Team 8+ as well as the Romanians and USC. It's a very competitive event with some fantastic racing.

The Club event is slightly less competitive because there are restrictions. If you have placed or won events at certain nationally recognized regattas, you aren't allowed to row in this event, you must row up in the Championship event. Therefore, it's a great place for our freshman crews as they'll be right in the mix (we hope) with some good competition.

The varsity will be gunning to finish higher than last year's 7th place (they were the 5th fastest college). The freshman have a goal as well: be unable to get out of the boat at the end. Both goals require hard racing, guts out. Go Huskies!
