A note from our Sweeps Director



Dear WRRA Athletes,

I hope everyone has had a productive and fun season. As the head race season progresses into October, there is the largest two-day regatta in the world (11,000 athletes) in Boston, MA. The Head of the Charles (HOCR) will be held from October 20th-22nd. Because participation in this regatta is partially funded by WRRA for the sweeps bids that are accepted into the race, the WRRA Board of Directors is formally notifying all club members of the regatta and club plans.

WRRA has the following bids:

• Men's 40+ 4+
• Men's 50+ 4+
• Two Women's 40+ 4+s

Any WRRA members, outside of the Master's program, interested in a seat must indicate their interest by October 2nd in order to participate in the formal selection process. 

The selection process will consist of a mandatory 5K erg test, as well as on-the-water evaluations including seat racing, which means participation in the master's team practices is required.

If you would like to participate or discuss further, please email Karen Abbott (kcabbott@icloud.com) regarding the women’s entries or Daniel Oldfield (daniel@oldfieldmedia.com) for the men’s entries. All participants will be emailed concerning the date(s) and time(s) in addition to any pertinent information relating to the selection process.
