"The Worcester Crew"

Worcester Mag

 


Jeremy Shulkin, reporter for Worcester Mag, went for a ride with the rowing teams at the College of the Holy Cross to learn a little more about what really goes on during training. He learned a lot, especially the week before the College’s biggest two competitions: the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Rowing Championships and the Eastern Athletic Rowing Colleges (EARC) Eastern Sprints, which features the best teams in the country: Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the Naval Academy, among others. 

“It’s a very big deal,” said Patrick Diggins, the head of the program at Holy Cross and the women’s team coach. “We want to have our fastest time this weekend and next weekend.”
