WHY ROW?

Why should you even consider rowing? Here are just a few reasons. It's a total experience that immerses you.

• Rowers are the toughest, most determined athletes you will meet!
• Rowing is for everyone. It does not matter what height you are or what size you are. If you are interested in us, we are interested in you.
• It does not matter if you have never played sports before or have never heard of rowing, we will teach you everything you need to know.
• Rowing works all the muscle groups and burns more calories then any other sport or exercise. It is a sport that demands endurance, strength and skill. It requires consummate team work and mental toughness.
• Many universities offer scholarships for crew. Crew is a growing sport on college campuses. Participating in crew looks good on your college application.
• We have fun at PSHS Crew. We are comprised of students from Parkersburg South High School, Blennerhassett Junior High and Edison Junior High.
• The team experience forms very close friendships and helps everyone grow dramatically as people. You learn a sense of responsibility toward your boat mates and team, and this transfers itself into all walks of life.

Our races are on Saturdays and if our race is out of town, we usually leave on Friday to travel to the regatta and stay at a hotel. We race in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan, and West Virginia. If you qualify at Regional Championships, you race at Nationals.
