Rowing Regatta Today

A repeat of last year’s high school rowing regatta will be held on Crystal Lake Saturday.

Races will start at 8 and run until 4 in the afternoon, according to Brian Beringer.

This is the second regatta of the year.

The first was on April 21st.

I misidentified it as a teen regatta.

Commenter buoy46 revealed it was really “a collegiate scrimmage featuring Marquette University, University of Notre Dame, and Northwestern University.”

This one is a repeat of the Greater Chicago Junior Rowing Championship.

I even saw a banquet room reserved at the Holiday Inn for the Upper Arlington, Ohio, team. (And I even know where Upper Arlington is, having had a college girl friend, Melinda Kunz, from there. I stayed at her parents’ home while attending the National Student Congress, being the only conservative representative from Oberlin College.)

I think McHenry County Blog was the only one to run a story on the 2006 Greater Chicago Junior Rowing Championship. In fact, there was a second one with what a race looks like from the Main Beach.
