QUOTE:
"We've had some really good team bonding experiences," said Hannah, co-captain of the Greenwich High School girl's varsity crew team. "Getting a co-captainship has been a tremendous experience for me and I think this team has a great chance to go to the nationals this year."

By Martin Cassidy Greenwich Time - Staff Writer
In recent months Hannah Johnson and her teammates have spent two hours a day five days a week rowing in the Mianus River , hoping to build the physical stamina and mental unity needed to qualify to compete nationally later this spring.....
....After the regatta, a ceremony was held on Grass Island in which awards were presented to the teams that won each of the more than two dozen races during the day. "I think the number one appeal of the sport is that it is the definition of a team sport," Cabrera said. "For instance, in a ball sport like basketball, you can have one weak player or link and still be dominant, but in crew the interplay is very important."
