Boys Varsity Crew
Team Overview
Thank you for your interest in the boys rowing program. The Frederick Gunn School rows coxed fours out of the Beebe Boathouse on Lake Waramaug, approximately 10 minutes from campus. In the fall, we compete against high schools, clubs, and colleges at the Riverfront Regatta, the Head of the Housatonic, the Head of the Charles as well as the Frostbite and Braxton regattas in Philadelphia. Our spring season includes dual meets and cup races with other NEIRA schools such as Choate, Taft, South Kent, Deerfield, St. Mark’s, Nobles and Berkshire. We host the annual Founder’s Day Regatta on our home course in early May and compete at the NEIRA Championships at the end of our season.
Over the last several years FGS has emerged as a recognized rowing power, finishing in the top six or better at the NEIRAs and placing first in the National Scholastic Championships in 2014. We have had a number of rowers compete on the U.S. Junior and Senior National Teams and many have forged college careers at the Division I and Division III levels. Over the past decade, the crew program has sent graduates to the University of Washington, Northeastern University, Brown University, Franklin and Marshall, Syracuse University, and Hobart and William Smith, among many others.
We are always looking for new rowers and coxswains to join our program. Most of our athletes come to us with no previous experience, and we believe that it is our commitment to a strong novice and JV program that allows us to develop the competitive athletes who have contributed the continued success of our team
