The Oakland Strokes youth rowing club men's varsity eight won gold at The Head of The Charles Regatta in Boston for the first time in team history while the women's varsity eight took seventh place.

The Head of The Charles is one of the world's preeminent rowing competitions, and this year marked the 50th anniversary of the race.

Out of a field of 85 boats, the varsity men outpaced Marin and St. Paul's of London, the second and third place winners respectively, to win the race on Oct. 19.

"I'm really pleased with the way the guys performed," said the new men's varsity head coach Brian De Regt.

The Oakland Strokes women likewise had an inspiring row amid notably fast competition, taking seventh in a field of 85 boats.
