Hooch Report
Edgewater Crew had a good day at 2nd largest Head Race in the country with more than 50 high school and youth club teams competing. Top finish was turned in by the Mens8+ with a 17th place finish out of 60 entries. The top Women4+ boat also finished in the top half of its event.
New boats get first race in Tampa
A rainy day greeted our rowers in their first Head Race of the season. Our two brand new Vespoli Four shells got a proper blessing from Coach Tom and took to the water. Finishing 5th and 7th behind boats from last year's State Champions was good start and we look forward to improvement at the Hooch.

Welcome
Only 50 years ago, High School Rowing was non-existent in Florida. That was changed by an Edgewater High School social studies teacher by the name of Dennis Kamrad, who had found his passion while rowing for Rollins College in nearby Winter Park. Rowing had become such an important part of Coach Kamrad's life so he naturally wanted to share this experience with others. In the Fall of 1963, Coach Kamrad brought his enthusiasm and interest to the Edgewater student body to recruit 8 rowers and a coxswain to practice and compete against visiting college teams and within 3 years was competing with the high school powers of the Northeastern US.
48 years later, Edgewater Crew is rowing on with close to 40 other school and club programs in Florida, compiling a long tradition of excellence in rowing, scholarship and citizenship. Rowing is classified a club sport at the high school level; therefore the team gets no dedicated funding from the state, county or school. Orlando Rowing Association is a 501, (c)(3) charitable, educational, non-profit corporation made up of Edgewater parents that provides all administrative, financial and logistical support to the Edgewater Crew program. Your donations are welcome, tax-deductible and put to good use with NO administrative overhead.
