The Hillsborough High School Rowing Club (HHSRC) was founded in 1998 to provide students with the opportunity to participate in a sport that encourages physical conditioning, teamwork, and organized competition for young men and women. Our athletes practice throughout the school year and compete in both the fall and spring seasons.

REGATTA RECAPS:
Southeast Region Youth Regatta
With teams from 7 states attending, our young team once again rowed hard and determined at the Southeast Regional Youth Regatta. Katie Burke won the W1X and qualified for the US Rowing Youth National Regatta held June 13-15 in Cincinnati. Our girl’s novice eight (Gina Javier-coxswain, Amanda George, Katie McNamara, Jasmine Evans, Kaslyn Bos, Jenna Giudice, Maddie Morley, Sara Bobo and Sonia Chokshi) gave a great effort making it all the way to the semifinals! Next year should be really exciting with all the talented men and women rowers we have returning!
