Hiigh School events
Entries are to be made in the name of the High School, unless a situation requires racing as Unaffiliated (not club). Please make sure to spell names correctly, and have correct birthdates. Junior High School age is born in 2002 or later, and Senior H.S. age is born in 1999 or later. High School weight limits for girls are 135lbs, 145lbs and open; and for boys the weight limits are 150 lbs, 165 lbs and Open. Weigh-ins are from 7:30 am until race time.
NOTE: Each year we can have over 25 rowers who do not make weight, which is a difficult problem for the computer and timing teams. Make sure to enter in the proper category, having read the rules and checked your weight. This year, rowers that must change category on race day, due to not making weight or entering the wrong category will NOT be able to qualify for Top Ten Shirts or medals. Times will be taken but will be added AFTER the regatta in their proper category.
Open & Masters events
Entries can show the name of the club, fitness facility or even unaffiliated. Weight limits for Lightweight events are 135 lbs for women and 165 lbs for men. For Masters medals are given to each Age Group Winner (30-42, 43-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69), plus a lightweight medal.
