Welcome to Westfield Crew
Home of the Bulldogs
Westfield Crew was founded in the fall of 2004. The team has participated in the Virginia State finals every year since its inception, and qualified boats for Nationals continuously since 2007. The 2011 season provided newfound success with the advancement of the 1st Men's Varsity Eight to the Petite Finals at Nationals. Our coaching staff is dedicated to helping committed athletes achieve their best.

Graduation 2012 will result in the loss of a host of incredible volunteers from the crew board. These parents have expended endless hours of their time and energy for many years while they served our children. Please take a moment to personally thank them for their contributions. Frank and Rebecca Culbertson, Chris Nelson, Jim and Linda Higinbotham, and Shirley and David von Rinteln (still have a younger rower) all deserve our appreciation and gratitude. Thank you everyone for all you have done, from making sure our finances are in order, to designing and building starting platforms, docks and oar houses, to dressing us in our spirit wear and providing encouragement in the grandstands for the Westfield yell, to making food arrangements and fulfilling VASRA positions. The list is as endless as the time you have selflessly contributed. You will be sorely missed.

Congratulations to the rowers of Westfield crew for a successful season.
A special acknowledgement to Laura Anhalt, who tore her fingernail off on the gunwale at the beginning of the state race, for her strength and will. She not only rowed through that race (bloodied to be sure), but went on to row in the next event without even flinching. That is the will of the Westfield rower at their best.
