For schools in the DMV…NCS, STA, Gonzaga field 8 person varsity.  SJC and some others field 2 and 4 person boats.

Jackson-Reed, Whitman and BCC for public schools field 8 person boys and girls varsity.

[b]There are probably others[/b], but those are prominent in the DMV.  I believe all of the above schools send both boys and girls to D1 rowing programs, as well as D3.[/quote]

High school rowing actually started in the 1940s at Alexandria’s GW HS and Arlington’s W-L HS. It’s one of the oldest sports here in the DMV. Most area public schools and private schools now have rowing teams and the larger public schools and many private schools have varsity 8 boats. Only Alexandria and Arlington public schools (and the private schools) support crew with some amount of financial assistance and official sponsorship as a varsity sport. It is a club sport at most other schools due largely due to its expense. We are lucky to have so many schools here with rowing programs. [/quote]
