In New England the weather drives people off the water from around Halloween until the ice melts sometime in March. Some enthusiastic rowers including an Andover Alum invented the idea of erging competitions that grew into the now famous Crash-Bs.
Before Christmas some of the rowers gathered to benchmark their erg skills. Andover rowers do other sports in the winter term. The program encourages teenagers to have multiple sports. It would be interesting to see which winter sports are the most compatible with building strength and stamina for rowing. The shirt color represents how far each person rowed in a 10 minute erg.
As we are posting this on January 10th there is only about 8 to 10 weeks before te ice melts.
