Welcome to Lake Braddock High School Crew!

As we enter the 2011-2012 academic year and our 13th season of competition I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of all the past Board members, parents, alumni, coaches and student athletes that have brought us to the established level of achievement that we now enjoy. The team owns some of the newest equipment of the area competing schools and we continue to expand our inventory. Our athletes have distinguished themselves and honored Lake Braddock at all levels of local, regional and national competitions, and by winning medals for each of the last five years at the Virginia State Championships.

To the team members I say that I am excited about the possibilities for your success this year. You have outstanding coaches to train you and a wonderful group of parents to support you with all that “behind the scenes work” so that you can train and race safely and effectively.

I welcome all the new athletes and the returning members on behalf of this year’s Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, and Coaches. This is not an easy sport, but it is one that develops character, physical stamina, a team approach to success, and friendships that will last a lifetime. Work hard, but most importantly, be safe and have fun. See you on the water. Go Bruin Crew.

Bill Rothwell, 2011/2012 President, LBCBC
