In our first showing at the John Hunter Regatta, our team did exceptionally well. Competing against 20 teams from the South-East Region on the 1996 Olympics rowing course, we came away with the third highest team points. Our rowers earned 76 medals in 14 events including first place finishes for the Women's Youth Novice 8+, Men's Youth Novice 8+, Women's Youth Novice 4+, Men's Youth Novice 4+ and Men's Youth Ltwt 4+.

Spring season is here, and it's an exciting time for the sport of rowing as we move into sprint season. HP Crew found success in fall's longer head races, and is looking forward to the challenge of spring's head-to-head sprints. The races are shorter and the action thrilling as the crews each vie to be the first across the finish line.

Our first challenge this year was SWEAT, a unique regatta in which rowers compete on ERGs.

Highland Park Crew is becoming Dallas United Crew, a name chosen to better reflect the growing diversity and spirit of our accomplished organization. Our athletes currently come from 8 schools from across the Dallas Metroplex (with the hope of more to come), with each student bringing his or her talents and abilities to form one united team. The team will finish the Spring Season as HP Crew, but, come Summer, will unfurl it’s new banner as Dallas United Crew, the largest co-ed competitive juniors rowing team in Texas.

This is a great time for us! The Fall 2011 racing season turned out to be one of the most successful in our team's history. Competing in three regattas, our rowers brought home nearly two dozen medals! This even included the second largest regatta in the nation, the Head of the Hooch in Chattanooga, involving nearly 10,000 rowers from across the United States. Our boats competed in races involving as many as 40 or more other boats and still medaled.
