Crew is a sport that trains all year round. Not only do these athletes have off-season practice, but they also have off-season meets. One of the most important meets is the Crew Classic. It is the biggest regatta in the country and will be held this weekend in Sand Diego, teams from all over the country will travel to Mission Bay to compete.
The Crew Classic is an excellent opportunity for schools to get national exposure and recognition for their skills. It also allows schools to know where they rank so they can make adjustments to their training programs in order to improve. There will be three divisions: Junior (high school), Collegiate, and Masters. Men and women will race separately as will varsity, junior varsity, and novice teams. The Crew Classic is an open regatta, meaning, there are no qualifiers to enter the meet. Schools must, however, register far in advance. The deadline for this meet was in November. All teams willing to participate in this meet will get to compete against higher ranking teams. It also helps the crews develop their teamwork and bonding as a team. For those who are not used to competing against harder crews, it gives them an opportunity to experience the challenge of racing schools that are even stronger than those they meet in their championships. “Win, lose, or draw,” said Pacific Crew coach Eric Weir, “we’re going to go do our best.” The Pacific Crew team encourages anyone who wants to join them on their trip to San Diego to do so. The Crew Classic is an official event on the Alumni calendar as well. The team is very excited for the meet and look forward to your support. This two day event is a demonstration of the Crew team’s dedication. The Crew team leaves Friday, April 4, and returns early Sunday, April 6, giving the team enough time to travel to San Diego, compete, and travel back to Stockton. The time dedicated to this sport is outstanding and is highly acknowledged by the school.
