Row fast or be last

As the sun rose over the Mission Bay boat house, the Cathedral Catholic High School crew team traveled south to partake in the annual Fall Classic regatta. Hoping that their daily practices paid off, the rowers raced 5,000 meters in several different boats such as an eight, a four, and a double. This particular regatta directly correlates with team bonding time, and building both camaraderie and unity among teammates. With high expectations for the winter and spring seasons, the crew coaches hoped this race educated the rowers and built up their endurance in preparation for upcoming competitions.
