Off With a Bang -

The fall season has kicked off with a bang. Recently there was an announcement by Mayor Rahm Emanuel about proposed development along the Chicago River. CTC is very excited by the possibilities and we look forward to helping in any way we can to make the river more accessible. You can catch the recent news story by clicking HERE.

This announcement kicked off an already aggressive and busy fall season. Our new recruits are building on their recent summer experience and learning to race properly! The season will start with a scrimmage against St. Ignatius and Crystal Lake on October 1st followed by competition that includes the Quad Cities Classic, Head of the Rock, and Head of the Eagle -- a 400% increase in our fall schedule! All details on these events will be updated on our website shortly.

A special mention to Abel Duran. Abel was our first ever CTC member and 6 years on he has now been hired as a coach in training. Abel is extremely motivated and enthusiastic about staying intimately involved in the program he used to call his own and CTC is very excited about his formal involvement. We will work with his schedule as a certified mechanic so that he may successfully juggle both commitments. His role will be a learning one - helping with the novices / support recruiting / regatta transportation - and we look forward to evolution as a team leader.
