The Hingham High School Crew team will host its annual Frosty Bow Sprints this Saturday, November 4 in Bare Cove Park against rival Duxbury Bay Maritime School.
Spectators will have excellent views from along the banks of the Back River to watch the boys and girls racing in 8+ boats (eight rowers and a coxswain) in a series of seven races. Nearly 100 Hingham High School students will be rowing or coxing in the Frosty Bow Sprints.
Boats start launching at 2:30 p.m. for the first race at 3 p.m., and racing will continue until about 5 p.m. HHS Crew parents will be cooking up burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, and mac and cheese, and brewing up hot chocolate and coffee, available for purchase.
The annual Frosty Bow Sprints wraps up a winning fall season for the Hingham High School Crew team, earning multiple medals at every regatta, including the Massachusetts Public School Rowing Association Fall Championships, New Hampshire Championship George Dirth Memorial Regatta, New England Junior & High School Championship Regatta, and the Textile River Regatta. The team also raced three boats in the Head of the Charles.
Come see the HHS Crew team’s athleticism and teamwork in action, and cheer on the hometown team at the Frosty Bow Sprints!
