Southwest Senior Lena Hedberg and her junior double partner Ashling O'Sullivan, qualified to row in the Head of the Charles Rowing Regatta in Boston - Oct 20-21. (The Charles is like the World Series to a baseball player) They won a gold medal at the Head of Des Moines yesterday. The Head of the Mississippi is this next weekend, the Head of the Rock and then the Charles. So exciting!

"Since its origin in 1965, the Head Of The Charles Regatta® has welcomed the world’s best crew teams to the banks of the Charles River for the ultimate two-day rowing competition. Preparing for an event that attracts over 9,000 athletes and 300,000 spectators requires a great deal of preparation. The HOCR consists of a 15 member Board of Directors, 5 of which are in charge of race management and overseeing a twelve-member race committee (including two race co-chairs). The race committee meets year-round to discuss the operational and logistical details of the event. They are assisted by 80 leading volunteers on 30 separate committees that begin meeting weekly in the fall. A full-time, professional staff of four, headquartered in the Cambridge Boat Club, works year-round to plan the event, obtain sponsorship and communicate with the rowing community
