Short History

From 1889 until the stock market crash of 1929, the Cambridge Latin High Crew raced in 4+'s against rivals Rindge Technical School and Brown & Nichols.

The program resurfaced in 1989 as the Cambridge Rindge & Latin Crew Club. Managed and coached by CRLS teachers Linda Lipkin, Phyllis Bretholtz, and Tobe Korsgren the Club was supported by parents dues and students rowed several days a week in the fall from the Community Rowing center in Boston.

When the Cambridge Boat Club remodeled in 1999, space was created for CRLS and in the Spring of 2000 the CRLS crews on the Charles River.

Today , students participate in the spring and Fall.

CRLS Crew would not exist without the support of these groups:

The Association for the Support of Cambridge Crew

The ASCC is organized and exists for the purposes of building and maintaining a girls and boys crew program at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and consists primarily of parents of active members of the crew. They meet the second Thursday of each month and organize the Door to Door Campaigns and other fundraising events. Working under the Friends of Cambridge Athletics umbrella (FOCA), they raise $10,000 - $15,000 yearly for the operations of the Crew.

 

Friends of Cambridge Athletics

Organized in 1997, the Friends of Cambridge Athletics came together to develop a city-wide effort to support the development and funding of athletics in the Cambridge Public Schools. Parents and community members hold several fundraisers though out the year including the Fresh Pond City Run held in April. Working under FOCA's 501(c)3 registration, all donations to the CRLS Crew are tax deductible.
