The StFX rowing club has been hard at work over the past week, preparing for the 2017 season. Training camp--which began August 25th--included daily rows on Lochaber Lake, dryland sessions, a fitness combine, and team building exercises.

This year's seniors include a large mix of veteran leaders and sophomore rowers with a small injection of youthful talent and raw athleticism.

"The culture of the StFX Rowing Club has been superlative for almost a decade, but this year's group of athletes is unparalleled in its devotion to the team's success and each individual's growth", said coach Katie Edwards, who has been with the program since 2011. "With a short, intensive season on the horizon, the future is very bright".

The club kicks off the season at the Cogswell Regatta in Halifax on September 10th, with novice tryouts slated to commence September 12th.
