Become part of our team:
Get in shape! Pound for pound, rowers are the strongest athletes on the face of the earth. Rowing is rated the #1 cross-training exercise for other sports. You will build strength and tone the arms, legs, back, abs and heart.
Meet New Friends at Hickory High School and other nearby schools! Other schools in our area share our love of the water. We meet up often and race against each other. You can't help but become friends with rowers from Hickory and nearby schools such as Great Bridge, Cox and Granby.
If you are a student at Hickory High School and are looking for information about the Hickory Rowing Club, please contact Coach Michele Barker at formerrower@cox.net for more information.
