General Regatta Information

John Hunter Regatta

The " Hunter " is named to honor a friend of rowing and benefactor to the Georgia Tech and Saint Andrew rowing clubs. John Hunter was instrumental in his support of the Georgia Tech Rowing Club and the formation of the Saint Andrew youth team. It was John who had the vision to help these programs grow from a few dedicated rowers to the teams they are today. It is in John 's honor that we have named this event the John Hunter Regatta.

This will be the 3rd year the John Hunter Regatta has been at the Oak Ridge, Melton Lake Rowing Venue and we are delighted to join the Oak Ridge Rowing Association 2008 series of regattas. Melton Lake is known as one of the best rowing venues in the United States and has been the site for a number of major championships including the 2007 NCAA Women’s Championship, the 2007 USRowing Masters Nationals, and in previous years, the U. S. Nationals, Women’s Nationals, and 1997 and 2000 Master’s Nationals and the Pan American Trials.
