Greensboro Crew’s youth squad will open its 2018 season on the 1996 Olympic race courseĀ at the John Hunter Regatta in Gainesville, GA this weekend.
Combining with rowers from High Point, the squad will race as HPG Rowing and is expected to be competitive in a number of key events.
“Greensboro rowers will have a sweep focus on Sunday while High Point will focus on the sculling events,” says club founder Gene Kininmonth.
Sweep rowers use one oar to propel their boat while scullers use two oars.
The team’s U17 squad will open racing in the morning in the sweep events. HPG has crews entered in the boys and girls U17 eights and four-oared events.
