January 12, 2019, 8 - 11 a.m.
James Madison High School Cafeteria

Oakton Crew and Madison Crew coaches have scheduled a team-wide indoor rowing challenge, and teammates can take pledges per meter to meet fundraising goals - over the break make sure to ask your family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor your efforts, and forms were distributed during practice last week.  Each rower will erg for 20 minutes, and the best team average wins friendly bragging rights until we host the competition next January.  Coxswains can compete in a 500 meter challenge, so everyone can participate.  

More information about the event, and additional sponsorship forms are available on our FUNDRAISING page, so check it out!

 

ALUMNI & ALUMNI PARENTS:  If you'd like to sponsor a rower, please contact that teammate, and if you'd like to sponsor Oakton Crew as a whole based on the team average, reply to this Catch and we'll get you signed up! 

Spectators are welcome so come on out!!!
