HEBDA CUP! HEBDA CUP! Congratulations to all the rowers! What an amazing performance by our team last weekend. In the 19 events, our rowers took home six 1st place, four 2nd place and three 3rd place finishes along with the boys trophy, girls trophy and the overall trophy in dominating style. Thank you to everyone who helped on Saturday and thank you to the coaches for all your hard work.

We are back at Wyandotte again this weekend for the Wy-Hi regatta. Practices and report times are similar to last week. See below for that and other info for the week.

Practices:
Practice Monday - Friday this week. Monday - Wednesday is practice as usual. Thursday, the rowers will load the boats on the trailer after practice so it may run a little longer than usual. Friday practice is at the Wyandotte Boat Club. The rowers will meet in the bus loop as usual after school and caravan to the Wyandotte Boat Club to rig the boats and have a quick practice on the race course. They will plan to be back to the bus loop around 6:30 pm. Parents, if you plan on driving your rower to the Friday practice, make sure they let the driver who takes them to practice know so they are not waiting around and the caravan can leave the school on time. The address for Wyandotte Boat Club is 1 Pine Street, Wyandotte, MI 48192. Below are links to the practice and race site: Directions Race Site

Weigh-in:
All lightweight rowers will have to weigh in at the Friday practice.

Regatta:
This week’s regatta is the Wyandotte High Schools Regatta (Wy-Hi) at the Wyandotte Boat Club. The address is 1 Pine Street, Wyandotte, MI 48192. There are links above under practices for more information and directions to the site. Attached is a tentative schedule of events for the regatta. Based on the schedule, racing will begin at 8:00 am. Rowers are to report at the boats at 7:00 am Saturday morning. Here is a link to additional race information on the Wyandotte Boat Club web site

Wy-Hi Parking
There will be over 20 teams at the regatta this weekend (almost double the number at the Hebda Cup). What that means for parking is that it will be harder to find. Rowers can be dropped off at the barricade but most likely the street right in front of the boat club will be filled with team boat trailers. There is additional parking in the city but one place that is not too far is at the Wyandotte City Hall (3200 Biddle Ave, Wyandotte, MI 48192). It is about a 5 minute walk to the site venue.

Salt Springs Sprints (Team Home Regatta)
We are less than 2 weeks away from hosting the 2nd annual Salt Springs Sprints at our team boathouse on Ford Lake. The team will need everyone’s help to make this event a success for all the rowers. Look for communications later this week with event and volunteer information.

Have a great week everyone and GO HORNETS!!!
