 | Crew is a year round sport, but the peak season is the spring. Notre
Dame athletes have the opportunity to participate through the
Cincinnati Junior Rowing Club. Practices are held daily immediately
following school for two hours, plus a Saturday morning practice.
Spring and fall practice time includes carrying boats, motors &
launches down to the shoreline. Rowers practice out of the Licking
River Boathouse located under the Fifth Street Bridge in Newport. In
the winter season, indoor training happens at the Montgomery Inn
Boathouse (underneath the restaurant.) Regattas are held at Harsha Lake
in East Fork State Park, as well as other rowing venues including
Columbus, Oak Ridge, & Indianapolis.
Rowing opportunities exist for girls at all points in their high
school careers, as many colleges recruit freshman “to walk-on” the
team, since they never seem to have enough girls to fill the spots.
Rowing requires strength, skill & determination to earn a seat in a
top boat. Coxswain positions are also available for petite girls with
strong personalities who can command and motivate the rowers and steer
the boats. More information is available on the CJRC web site
www.cjrc.net. An informational meeting will be held February 23, 2011 at Montgomery Inn Boathouse 7:00pm for all those interested in participating. |
