The Medford High School Rowing team will be holding an Erg-a-thon on Saturday November 14th from 8am – 4pm in front of Stop and Shop (760 Fellsway, Fells Plaza).

Each team member will row for a designated time and distance to total 37 miles for the team. The team is rowing to raise funds to purchase boats and other necessary equipment for the upcoming spring season.

The crew team, in its third year, has surged in popularity and has an impressive 47 members, with even more expected to participate in the spring.

The Mustangs recently competed in the state championship meet in Worcester and made a strong showing despite not being able to practice on the water until late in the fall season.

The team has received very generous support from Export Towing, Russo Marine, and the vocational school but is still in need of donations and equipment. Anyone interested in helping out the team can contact Coach Amy Byron at abyron@medford.k12.ma.us.
