On Sunday, February 22nd the Duxbury Bay Maritime School Rowers traveled to the Agganis Arena at Boston University to compete in the CRASH-B’s Sprints, the world’s largest indoor rowing competition.

The high school team has been training all winter at DBMS and Evolution Sports Performance and all the hard work paid off with 11 of 14 rowers scoring their personal records for a grueling 2000m distance.

In the Junior Men’s division, Captain Sam Habgood posted a personal record of 6:50.0. Nick Mulone (6:55.0), Mark Passeri (7:00.8 PR) and Captain Alex Kosharek (7:01.2) also rowed in the heavyweight division.
