| Cambridge Rindge & Latin School Crew Home on the Charles History |
| Formed in 1643, the Cambridge Latin School was the second public high school in the not yet named United States. Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, it was formed shortly after the Boston Latin School was established across the Charles River. For more on the history of CRLS, check out The Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, Yesterday and Today, by John Langome. The Cambridge Latin High Crew raced from 1889 until the stock market crash of 1929 ended the program. A small program, the team raced in fours against rivals Rindge Technical School and Brown & Nichols. |

The program resurfaced in 1989 as the Cambridge Rindge & Latin Crew Club (Cambridge High & Latin and The Rindge Technical School merged in 1978) and began rowing with the Community Rowing program in Boston. While the club often fielded complete eights, the team rowed under the name and colors of Community Rowing. Driven to practice by teachers /coaches Linda Lipkin, Phyllis Bretholtz, and Tobe Korsgren the Club was enthusiastically supported by Athletic Director Bill Bates and it was their combined efforts that led to the inclusion of a CRLS boat bay in the remodeled Cambridge Boat Club in 1999. Thus, Spring 2000 was the first official season of the CRLS crew under its own name and colors. The season began that January as a part-time, non-racing program with 12 students with little rowing experience and no equipment. By March, it had exploded into a six-day-a-week varsity program with 50 kids, five boats, five races, and two coaches. The rest, as they say, is history. |
| Thank you's go first to the Cambridge Boat Club and its supportive members who made us feel welcomed and to the many folks whose efforts gave us a home. The Head of the Charles organizers deserve a badge of honor for putting up with the noise and confusion of our first season and for their unending support. To all of those who contributed time, stuff, and of course money, 'thank you' seems too small because none of this would have happened without you. |

| The first Annual Alumni Row was a great success! Alums from our first crew in 2000 to recent 2006 grads, and their parents, came back to CBC to see old friends, catch up, and go for a row. Several 4+�s and an 8 went out on a beautiful, warm, fall afternoon and everyone enjoyed the food provided by the team. We look forward to seeing everyone the day after Thanksgiving, 2008! |
