Congratulations to Suzanne Van Fleet and Caroline Kirkwood!
Congratulations to WYRA alumni Suzanne Van Fleet and Caroline Kirkwood for their excellent races at the Head of the Charles! Suzanne raced with her Clemson University Alumni 8 finishing 8th out of 30 boats. And Caroline bowed for Boston College in a girls 4 Club race finishing 3rd out of 43 boats! This is the best finish for any BC crew, men or women, at the HOC. Congratulations to both rowers! WYRA is proud of you!

Head of the Christina News
What an amazing day we had! The weather went back and forth from misty rain to overcast gray skies, but spirits stayed high throughout the day. We can’t thank the volunteers enough for such a wonderful job! And a big thanks goes to Greg and Suzanne for helping the regatta run so smoothly.
Be sure to check out DelawareOnline to read their article on the regatta. Be sure to check on News Journal photographer, Fred Comegys’ photos in his web gallery. You can also go to Flickr to see the WYRA gallery of photos. And if that’s not enough photos for you, you can go to Row2K for their race photos (which are also available for purchase) as well as race results.
*Update* You can now read the HOC article in Scene About Town as well as see their photo gallery

So please make sure you stop by and give us your details.
