Haddon Hammer Annoucements!

The Haddon Hammer schedule is below.

9:00 Mens HS Novice
9:30 Men’s HS Lightweight
9:45 Men’s HS
10:15 Women’s HS Novice
10:45 Women’s HS Lightweight

There will be multiple heats in some of the events but not all.

Weigh in's for lightweights will begin at 7:30am on Sunday morning. You will not be able to weigh in more the 2 hours prior to your scheduled race time or less the 1hr prior to your race.
Boys: 7:30-8:30
Girls: 8:45-9:45
Please check in with one of the coach once you've weighed in. If you don't make weight you will be bumped into the open weight event (not a big deal).

NOVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS!
  • Don't worry! This will be fun!
  • If you don't already have a HT uniform then just wear your HT t-shirt and a pair of spandex. You cannot race in street clothes or pants so please come prepared
  • Plan on staying to cheer on your team mates after your races finish up
  • One of your coaches will review your race plan with you prior to the race (especially if you haven't done a 2k erg race before). Keep it simple and you will do well.

VARSITY AND NOVICE REMINDERS!
  • Bring your race plans to the regatta
  • Bring a water bottle and some snacks (unless you want to buy snacks and support the HT crew club!)
  • Bring a change of clothes so you don't have to sit in a sweaty uni all day long.
  • Encourage your friends and families to attend; as much as you all dread erg races, outsiders find them pretty cool. 
  • Plan to come early/stay late to support your teammates. While this is not mandatory, it is what makes HT Crew what it is. 

Feel free to call Coach Annie at 214-707-0116 if any questions come up over the weekend.

Otherwise. Go Hawks!
