Our team enjoyed a day at Glastonbury’s Head of the Horseman regatta along with E.O. Smith Crew, Avon, Simsbury, Riverfront Recaptue and of course Glastonbury High School Rowing. We don’t often get to race against only local high schools and we definitely don’t take 8s so thanks to sharing a trailer with EO Smith, we got to do those events too! Shoutout of the day may have to go to 5 very successful races from our exceptional and exceptionally young coxswains who handled their boats on the river like they were born to do this (Daniel, Jameson and Lucy (Lucy’s first race ever!). Our Boys 4+ ran a good time for being in a varsity race yet their average age was 14! Four of them hot seated to round out two 8s who needed emergency subs- that’s 8,000 meters logged! The girls 4V pulled it together and rowed super clean, introducing Eliana (a novice) to the “big leagues”. The 4+ B boat got in the books their first race ever for 3 of them and showed they have a ton of potential. The girls novice 8 (truly a U15 8!!) took the “school bus” through the course making history for CLCR running an 8 of all girls- first time! The last race of the day was 15 8s with mixed team rosters and 9 of our athletes were dispersed amongst other teams boats for an experience of a lifetime! Aubrey scored getting into a Glastonbury mixed boat that took first! We love bling! Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful day. That’s a 2026 racing wrap! Happy Halloween!🎃
