Andy Bacas Scholarships 

When former head coach Andy Bacas (pictured at left with Yorktown's gold medal men's 1V from 2009) stepped down in 2012, the board decided the best way to honor his service to the team was to establish a scholarship in his name to help graduating seniors pay for a portion of their first year's college tuition. Today, the board is releasing the application for the 1st annual Andy Bacas scholarships, $500 each for one male and one female athlete currently on the team that are continuing on to college in the fall.

Ted Phoenix Regatta 

In what likely was the team's best showing ever, Yorktown's lower boats won six medals--including three golds--in the eight races they competed in during Saturday's Ted Phoenix lower boat championship regatta on the Occoquan.

Team Has Strong Showing At Erg Sprints 

It was a good day for the Yorktown crew team at the Midatlantic Erg Sprints earlier this month at T.C. Williams High School. The women pulled in a passel of medals, the men notched numerous top ten finishes and athletes from both teams set personal bests like clockwork.
