LIFEcrew

Connected to a chain and handle, the sounds of heavy breathing bodies pushed their way to finishing the 2K.

Sliding back a forth on a moving chair, mimicking the way to row while sitting on land and not moving, the erg 2K took place down in Rivercrest Park.

Not most students could say that they could have a personal record for something but we do.

Preparing not only to beat their own record students also push them-selves to be the fastest either out of boys or girls.

Months in advance student Annber-lee Hothem (10) prepared for what seemed most important to her.

“The only way I was able to PR as because I have put in a lot of effort in the last six months with working out,” Hothem said. “I exact to workout more and do more sets that will let me PR again by the end of the year.”

Striving for a personal records did not come without practice. Having pretty much a boat on land is a strong advantage that the team uses to improve.

“When on the erg it challenges your muscles also your muscles,” said Alex Barrow (10), “Spending lots of time on the erg helps with you form, and hav-ing others criticize you.”

Everyone has different views on erging.

“I personally hate the erg because it’s one of the most boring and mo-notonous exercises we do,” said Luis Cuevas (11).

But others thought different. “When you finish it feels to know what you have achieved,” said Giancarlo Martinez Primo (10). “It just comes easy, because I do a lot of running that helps me stay in shape.”

cool down. Close to the end of his test, Javier Cuevas (9) gets water poured on his head to cool him down. “Normally I get water poured on my head in the last thousand meters because that’s when I’m really thirsty,” Cuevas said. His 4K sprint time lasted 16 minutes.

finish line. After a rigorous 2K test, Annberlee Hothem (10) is relieved to hear she makes a personal record. “The experience in my opinion was amazing because I could say I improved a lot from last year,” Hothem said. High expectations to PR again by the end of the year were planted in Hothem’s head.

race. Side by side, Andrew Schweitzer (11) and Luis Cuevas (11) motivate each other to erg faster.“Sitting next to someone

who is close to my strength made it harder, but also fun to have competition,” Schweitzer said. Although the erg was an

individual activity, it involved team cooperation and motivation.

push it. While on the erg, Duncan McEwen (9) puts in his all to reach his goal. “I had a goal time of around 2:02. My last 2K time was a 2:05 so I thought it was a reasonable goal,” McEwen said. Most everyone made a specific goal time to reach on the erg. photos by Cassidy Bull

launch. In the water, Vivek Kondapavuluru (9) situates an engine on a launch. “We have to put a 30 pound weight at the bow, the one person will pull the launch into the water and will carry the motor down and mount it onto the stern,” said Kondapavuluru. photo by Taylor Jordy

row your boat. During a summer practice, Nicholas Jeske (10) rows a single. “It’s really scary to be in such a small boat by yourself, so I prefer to be with partner, though being alone allowed you to have a lot more control,”said Jeske. photo by Cassidy Bull

more oar. To prep for practice, Savion Fordham (10) carries oars with a teammate. “Most times we bring oars down with the equipment for the motor boats,” Fordham said. Other equipment included gas, the engine and safety equipment. photo by Taylor Jordy

teamwork. Before practice, Amanda Majchrzak (9) helps carry a launch to the shoreline for the coaches to use to follow the rowers. It is only awkward that they follow “depending on which coach it is,” said Majchrzak. After practices the launches rested on the fence of the boat house. photo by Taylor Jordy

pull. To pull the table, the crew team works together with Luke Bincarousky (10) as one of the members pulling on the ropes. “No amount of soap and water can wash away what that bench has gone through,” said Bincarousky. The crew team got the table out in order to get the locals, who didn’t like the team being in their park, to like them more. photos by Cassidy Bull

TURNING TABLES

lift. After retrieving the table from the Hillsborough river,

seven rowers, including Rafael Carrion (11), lift the table

together. “We decided to start with the bench so we used

some ropes to pull it up out of the river,” said Carrion. The team had future plans to help

fix up the park they practice at.

wait. Before her event, Anjeanette Edwards (11) waits by holding a boat on her knee with the rest of her quad: Cassidy Bull (12), Harmony Tarpein (10) and Annberlee Hothem (10). “I hang out and talk until it’s time to race and I usually race a women’s quad,” said Edwards. The rest of Edwards’ time at the regatta was spent talking with friends. photos courtesy of HHS Crew

TIGHT RACE

single. In a single, Luke Jeske (12) rows through the water. “When I’m rowing in a single, I can feel every pound of drag pulling against me,” Jeske said. Being in a single was worlds away from being in other boats because only one person rows.
