In less than three (3) months the Newport Rowing Club went from just a dream to a full-fledged rowing club with a new fleet of boats, a boathouse, launches, oars, a coaching staff of 4, and more than 45 rowers. Today, NRC represents numerous middle schools and high schools in Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Our inaugural fall season had NRC competing in regattas along the Christina River in Wilmington (Head of the Christina), Boathouse Row (Navy Day, Frostbite, and Bill Braxton), the Charles River in Boston (Head of the Charles), and the Chattahoochee River in Chattanooga (Head of the Hooch). Since 2010, we've had many accomplishments!

• Two athletes to Nationals in 2015 placing 5th in the country.
• Two athletes to Nationals in our first year (2010), placing 6th in the country.
