2009 HOTO Results for Potomac

November 3, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment

Fall racing season on the Occoquan

Hosted by Occoquan Boat Club (OBC), the Head of the Occoquan (HOTO) is one of the largest end of the season regattas in the country. Collegiate, Club, Junior and Masters crews launch over two days from Sandy Run Regional Park (Fairfax, Va.) to race on a challenging 5000 meter (3.2 mile) course that runs through the Occoquan Reservoir.

This year’s HOTO was held on Halloween weekend (10/31 - 11/01), but you know darn well that didn’t scare us away. Quite a few of us showed up to support our neighbors to the south, OBC … and to cap off our 140th year of racing with some monster finishes. (Get it? Monster? Sorry.)

Check out the PBC HOTO results below. To see all the results, click here. For SportGraphics pics, click here. (Looking strong in bow seat, Men’s Club 8!)

Great job, everyone! And no, we did not eat all of the Reese’s out of your Halloween candy.

Potomac heads home to the Charles

October 15, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment

The Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR) is like homecoming weekend for many rowers, especially for us at Potomac Boat Club. We’ve been there each of the regatta’s 45 years, winning the Men’s Championship Eight event in year one. When not racing, it’s our opportunity to catch up with old friends and teammates, some we haven’t seen in years.

If you’re going to the Charles this weekend, make sure you get to the racecourse in time to cheer on all the folks keeping PBC’s rich HOCR racing tradition alive. As you’ll find below, there are quite of few of them, so remember to wear layers, bring the throat lozenges, and maybe make friends with the guy with the flask (um, if you’re into that kind of thing).

Oh, in case you weren’t at the Semi-Annual Meeting last week, the Board announced the first winners of the David Challinor Head of the Charles Memorial Fund awards! Congratulations to Margot Shumway and Bill Greer!

Best of luck to all of you this weekend … and a special “go get ‘em, ladies” from the Star to PBC-sponsored WeCanRow DC as they compete in their very first Head of the Charles Regatta!
