Head of the Housatonic, Head of the Connecticut Weekend ReCap


This weekend the Cardinals represented Wesleyan at two of New England's most prestigious and historic regattas; the Head of the Housatonic in Shelton, CT and the Head of the Connecticut at our 'home court' stretch of the Connecticut river in Middletown, CT!
It was a busy weekend, but across the men's and women's squad we saw a strong representation of support from parent's and alumni at both events. What a great way to kick of our Fall racing season! Thanks to all who helped out!


At the Head of the Housatonic the Men's squad raced two Varsity 8s, a novice 8, and a collegiate 4 while the Women raced two varsity 8s.

At the Head of the Connecticut the Men's side saw representation from alumni competitors, while the Women's side was represented by a novice 8.

In conclusion, it was a great weekend of racing.
While we feel we performed at a high level, we also feel there is much work to be done, and we are excited to get to work on the water this week in preparation for the Head of the Charles Regatta this weekend.

Stay tuned for further updates!
