Our Varsity Women’s 8+ represented the club well at the 49th annual Head of the Charles Regatta on October 19th! Despite not having been on the water to practice for several weeks because of the federal shutdown, the AJRA entry placed 42nd out of 85 boats in a competitive field on a difficult course. The top half finish earns AJRA a guaranteed entry for next year’s Head of the Charles. Way to go, Varsity Women!
The VW rowers also were featured in a Boston TV newscast about the
economic impact of the regatta on the city. To view the news clip,
