The Saratoga Rowing Association girls’ varsity eight takes the open water with rival crews at the Head of the Fish regatta at the mouth of Fish Creek in Saratoga Springs on the weekend of October 26. The two-day event in the last weekend of October featured over 2,000 registered boats, as teams from 37 different colleges alone also competed. After reaching 2,095 registered boats, SRA regatta director Chris Chase had to turn away additional boats who wanted to participate in the regatta that continues to grow every year.
