Crew

One of the big benefits of our athletic program is the experience so many of our coaches bring to their respective sports. That's especially true with our crew program, which is headed up by Rich Connell, a collegiate rower and former graduate assistant at nearby Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, New Hampshire. 

Begun by the program's previous coach, Caleb Davis, and carried on by Coach Connell, the crew team, now in its second decade at Dublin, is making exciting strides toward becoming a more competitive program. In 2010 the team, which totaled 20 rowers, competed in several novice races at schools like Brewster Academy, Vermont, and Deerfield Academy. Over the next few years we plan to expand the schedule even more. 

Because Dublin makes its home in an area graced with a number of lakes, the crew team doesn’t have to venture too far for its practices. Training sessions are held on Thorndike Pond in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, which is just a few minutes away by car. Our fleet consists of five boats, including a new racing shell that was donated to the program by a generous parent in 2011. Like any teams at Dublin, the crew squad is a competitive bunch. It's fun, too, giving students who may have limited experience on the water, the chance to delve deep into a sport they can participate in for the rest of their lives.
