SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Syracuse University women's rowing team begins fall competition Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Head of the Housatonic regatta in Shelton, Conn. The Orange will see seven different teams including Yale, Brown and Northeastern whom all earned NCAA Championship bids alongside 'Cuse last spring.
Under the direction of first-year head coach Luke McGee, the Orange send four varsity eight crews to Indian Well State Park for the 8+ collegiate women division. Saturday will be Syracuse's first Head of the Housatonic appearance.
Fans can view live results as they are made available at the conclusion of each race.
About the Regatta
The first Head of the Housatonic was held in 1994, the same year that the New Haven Rowing Club moved into its brand new boathouse in Oxford, Connecticut.
The members of the club, mindful of their mission to help promote the sport of rowing, thought an October regatta on the Housatonic would be a good tune-up for local crews aiming for the Head of the Charles later in the month. With a lovely and placid 2.7-mile racecourse measured out, the Head of the Housatonic was launched.
From that modest beginning, the Head of the Hous has grown into one of the largest one-day regattas on the East Coast. Each year, some 700 crews and 2,000 athletes (and thousands more spectators) come together for the joy of competing along the gentle turns and stunning foliage of the Housatonic River valley. Rowers from ages 15 to 80-something wend their way up the course, passing by Indian Well State Park and under 'the wire' on their way to the finish line at the NHRC boathouse.
