HIGH SCHOOL ENTRIES: Please remember that you must enter as a high school (or unaffiliated), and not as your club - as this is a HIGH SCHOOL event you are entering... ALSO, please make sure to enter the appropriate event - check your weight in advance, and speak to your coach - if unsure. Every year we have 10-15 rowers who have to change events on race day! (If a HS entry is listed as a club, and not changed by the entry deadline, they will be switched to Unaffiliated by the regatta.) Anyone not making weight for a weight class event will race at the printed time and their time will be moved to the appropriate category in the final results.
NEW THIS YEAR - SOMETHING FUN!!! High School Jr and Sr Mixed 2km relay, where each rower does 500m, (and all competitors must be competitors in another event at the regatta. Enter on RegattaCentral, with names of rowers, and you can adjust the names up until 1 hour before the race. 2 males, 2 females, from the same school. (Single Sex school can join with another school for a team). Junior event will run following the Masters races, and Senior event will run following the Open events. No Top Ten shirts, but a special award will be given! Only 16 entries available in each relay, in this first year! Entry fee is only seat fees for this first year, as we want to have a good turnout for the fun race!
