North Allegheny Indoor Rowing High School Championships

On the first Saturday of each March, hundreds of high school rowers from across Western Pennsylvania come together at North Allegheny to test their strength and speed in a series of simulated 2000 meter rowing races.  Races are held in the categories of novice, junior varsity and varsity for both boys and girls. Flyweight, lightweight and open weight classes further segment the contests. 

Medals are awarded to the top three finishers in each race and the top six finishers earn points towards the team competition.  Trophies are awarded to the top men's team, top women's team and top combined team.

The 2008 event took place on Saturday, March 1 at McKnight Elementary School. 

In 2008, 273 young athletes competed, accompanied by the clapping, cheering and chanting of a packed house of fans. 

North Allegheny finished first overall, with a total of 128 points.  Taylor Allderdice took the number two spot with 98 points, and Fox Chapel finished third with 77 points.

Mount Lebanon took the award for the top women's team with a score of 71 points to runner-up North Allegheny's 67.   North Allegheny's men finished third with 61 points, 16 behind first-place Fox Chapel and eight points behind second-place Taylor Allderdice.
