The varsity team, with five rowers from Beavercreek (Rachel McNutt, Elena Muir, Sam Phillips, Neeti Prasad and Hannah Whitaker) won medals in six events at Speakmon and then headed to Chattanooga Nov. 3-4 for the second largest regatta in the nation — the Head of the Hooch Regatta.

Winter is coming and DBC is looking for new rowers. Indoor rowing is the ultimate full-body workout and a fitness movement surging in popularity.
