“No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of their rowing”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

​

Rowing is a true team sport and one of the oldest collegiate sports with the first sanctioned race between Yale and Harvard in 1852. It’s also one of the fastest growing collegiate sports in the United States, growing from just 42 NCAA programs in 1982 to more than 140 today. The growth of college crew programs combined with the relative scarcity of high school programs presents tremendous opportunities for scholarships. 

​

The Fairfax High School’s men’s and women’s crew teams consistently find success both on the water and in the classroom.  On the water, Fairfax Crew is consistently successful at the State and National levels, fielding competitive boats each spring at the Stotesbury Regatta in Philadelphia alongside more than 6,000 other high school rowers. In the classroom, Fairfax Crew boasts one of the highest team average GPAs of any sport at FHS. We encourage rowers to strive for both athletic and academic honors to continue the program-wide trend of a 100% college acceptance rate.
