LHRC Athletes & Alumni

LHRC Athletes

Our athletes come from all over the state—and even across state lines—to row with Litchfield Hills Rowing Club.

Youth athletes who attend Litchfield High School, Wamogo, Westover School, and Forman School can earn Varsity Letters. Current and former athletes also hail from Nonnewaug High School, Northwestern Regional High School, Berkshire School (MA), Avon High School, Newtown High School, New Milford High School, Canterbury School, Canton High School, St. Paul’s School, and more! Some of our athletes have even been featured in news articles! Check out these spotlights on Olivia Olsen and Maggie Jinks.

Our masters (adult) athletes live in Burlington, Canton, Granby, Litchfield, New Hartford, New Milford, Sharon, Torrington, Thomaston, Washington, Watertown, Amenia (NY), and more.
