The spring 2025 rowing season is underway! Check back here for updates on each of our team’s exciting regatta experiences.

Walter Mess Regatta, Fairfax Station, VA – March 29, 2025

We had beautiful weather for Riverside Crew’s first official 2025 regatta at Sandy Run Regional Park hosted by the Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association (VASRA). The event took place on the Occoquan River and drew teams from across the region. Nervous energy was felt by Novice and Experienced athletes alike. Each and every boat gave it their all. “It was a thrill to be back on the water,” said Senior Sean McAvoy. Sincere thanks to all the volunteer, family members and friends who made the long drive to cheer us on. Row-Side!
