Titan Rowing had six boats competing at day one of the Virginia State Rowing Championships May 7 and one took the bronze medal.

Congratulations to the Women’s Novice 8 for their great performance. Congrats also to the Men’s Freshman 8 and the Men’s 3rd Varsity 8 for their fourth place finish and the Men’s Novice 8, Women’s N-4 and Men’s 4th Varsity 8 for strong performances and fantastic seasons. 

The Alexandria City High School Rowing Team won six of 11 races at the Charlie Butt regatta Saturday, April 31 in Georgetown - a strong finish just a week before Virginia State Championships begin next week.

Taking home top prizes for the Titans were the Women’s Novice 8, the men’s freshman 8, the women’s freshman 8, the women’s second varsity 8, the men’s second varsity 8 and women’s first varsity 8.

The men’s first varsity 8, men’s third varsity 8 and men’s fourth varsity 8 came in second.

The race featured competitors from McLean, Washington-Liberty, Episcopal, Visitation, Sidwell Friends, West Potomac, Mt. Vernon and Yorktown. State championships for rowing begin next week, with lower-classman boats competing at the Occoquan. Varsity boats will compete the weekend of May 14. 

Titan Rowing was thrilled to christen its new shell, the Lisa Zickar, April 23 at the boathouse.

Lisa Zickar, a longtime volunteer for the Alexandria Crew Boosters, served as co-vice president of the Alexandria Crew Boosters in 2012. In 2013, she took over as co-president — a position she held for two years.  As co-president, she defined the Crew Booster mission as being very simple.  “Our mission is to fund, feed, and cheer our rowers on,” she said.  

In 2014, Lisa became the director of the Mid-Atlantic Erg Sprints — an ambitious role that includes dozens of volunteers, countless moving parts, and more patience than is quantifiable. In 2018, she helped manage the first World Rowing Indoor Championships in Alexandria.  In the six years she headed the event, the Erg Sprints became known as the second largest indoor rowing competition in the world — and the largest event of its kind for juniors.  During that time, it also brought in more than $200,000 for the program.

Lisa has since ceded her role managing the Sprints, but she created a high standard that the Crew Boosters hope to meet when the sprints resume in 2023. 

Her children, Allie and Sam, were both Titan rowers, and Sam Zickar who began coaching for the Titan Boys Team in 2022.  

Lisa and her husband Lou live in Alexandria and remain strong supporters of the program.  Alexandria Crew Boosters is incredibly grateful for the hours she’s spent supporting this wonderful organization, and the enthusiasm and can-do attitude that marked her time here.

Titan Rowing was thrilled to host school board members Michelle Rief and Chris Harris at the boathouse Saturday, April 23. The board members spoke to several ACB volunteers, toured the boathouse and Harris, a former high school athlete, pictured at left, took a turn on the erg with the boys' team. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our school system.

Four boats competed Saturday, April 23 at St. Andrews in Delaware for the Titan Girls.

The Girls 4+, pictured before their race at right, finished with a 6:42.7 time. The Girls 1st 8 finished with a 5:23.6 time. Girls 2nd 8 finished with a 5:30.1 time and Girls Freshmen finished with a 5:36.1 time ahead of SAS.

The Alexandria City High School rowing program hosted W-L and Yorktown for a scrimmage Saturday, March 19. Each boat had four races: one 1500 m, two 1000 m, and one 500 m race. The boats had a successful first outing and, thanks to the Alexandria Crew Boosters food team, enjoyed crepes after the scrimmage ended. 

Later, Titan rowers spent the evening at a movie night at the boathouse.

Many, many thanks to the Alexandria Crew Boosters and its team of enthusiastic volunteers for helping make Titan Rowing's first outing a success.
