News and Info for Wyandotte Boat Club Members


Valentine Dance

ImageCelebrate Cupids holiday this Saturday, Feb. 9th, with music and dancing. Enjoy the live music of Kentucky Chrome as they play a wide variety of songs from 8pm until midnight. Doors open at 7pm with drink specials all-night. It is only $5.00 a person for a night of fun, music, and dancing.


High School Rowing

The seven schools that row out of the WBC have started winter training. The first floor weight room, erg room, and water tank are all bustling with activity. This time of year the crews are trying to build endurance and strength before they hit the water. In the tank room the coaches are trying to teach proper rowing technique to both returning and new rowers.

Coaching Education

The WBC will host a United States Rowing Association level II coaching class and coaching continuing education seminar on Saturday and Sunday Feb 15th and 16th. The weekend will be filled with coaches from our club and around the state sharing and learning coaching techniques from some acclaimed guest speakers. These clinics increase the rowing knowledge of the people teaching our student athletes in an effort to produce better rowers.


Spring Regattas

It may be cold outside but before we know it, the ice on the river will be gone and students will be rowing, and that means racing will not be far behind.
The Hebda Cup is scheduled for Saturday April 26th, and the Wy-Hi Regatta will follow on Friday and Saturday May 2nd and 3rd.
These regattas are sponsored by the WBC and requires a great team effort. If you would like to volunteer to assist at these events please contact Fred Mekolon at fmekolonjr@yahoo.com. We need help with crowd control, water safety, and general administrative assistance.
Regatta meetings will start in late February at the club.


Computer Donation

ImageIf you have recently upgraded your home computer and have an extra one just sitting around, the WBC is in need of a computer. The one we have is just too old to work with new programs. To donate just bring it by the club any evening the lounge is open. We will be happy to provide a gift receipt for the donation.

The Roosevelt High School Rowing Crew presents a Hawaiian Luau Pig Roast to celebrate the beginning of their 66th year of competitive high school rowing.
Saturday, March 1st, from
