SRA 2022 HOCR Results

10/25/2022

 
Picture
Since the inception of The Head of the Charles Regatta in 1965, the event has attracted hundreds of thousands of rowers to Boston and the Charles River. SRA has had the opportunity to attend this regatta for years and to compete against top crews. This year, all our competing crews qualified for entires in 2023.

HOCR was back up to full capacity with top crews from across the country as well as numerous international crews. Rowers were lucky to have some of the best weather ever for this year’s races. SRA's top finish was a silver medal for the 5AM’s women’s 40+ 4+. They overcame multiple challenges to bring home SRA’s first medal since 2019.  

​Coach Kenzie Waltar of the 5am team competed with her dad, Steve Waltar, in the Directors Challenge Parent/Child 2x category. Waltar said, 
"It was an honor to race the Head of the Charles with my dad.  The two of us have been training together for a couple of months and to have it pay off with some fun on the Charles was such a gift!  We passed a few boats, we were cheered on by many UW and SRA friends, and we competed with heart.  I'm so glad we got to do something so special!  SRA, thank you for making this possible.  It's something we'll never forget!"

In addition to current SRA rowers, we were fortunate enough to see several alumni from our junior program competing this past weekend. Brooke Caragher (U Penn), Grace Sappington (Cornell), Lucy Climer-Kennedy (Northeastern), and Jacob Zelenko (San Diego), all recent SRA Junior Program alumni, were spotted competing this year and we could not be more proud to see them continuing their rowing careers on such a renowned stage. 

All of our crews did an outstanding job and deserve recognition as well. Below, board member Dale Quigg has compiled our team results along with video links. Please join us in celebrating our incredible rowers, coaches, and coxswains for their amazing performances at The Head of the Charles Regatta!
