Today Prince William Crew Association accomplished something that Alexandria City High School could not: running an indoor rowing event while it's cold out.
Prince William Erg Spints was electric this weekend with multiple event records being set. The event featured a fast-paced slate of short-distance races that kept the energy high from start to finish. Hosted at the outstanding venue of Colgan High School, the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm and a genuine love for the sport of rowing. The turnout, the competitiveness, and the spirit on display made one thing clear: Prince William County is an untapped well of potential. With continued investment and momentum, this community has everything it takes to make real splashes on the national stage.
On the boy's side, the Colgan had an absolutely dominant performance over their local rivals. The Sharks took up 9 places out of the top 10 ergs throughout the day. Performance on the girls side was much more spread-out amongst teams but was heavily concentrated in U17 and Freshman athletes. This says great things about the trajectory of these teams.
Two questions remain: Will they consider lengthening pieces out to 2000 meters, and will they allow others in our community to come throw down as well?
