[edit] Rowing
Tampa Catholic Crew is a co-ed sport that competes against other high school and youth rowing teams. The Tampa Catholic Crew team began in the 1999-2000 school year. From that start the program has grown each year adding boats, training equipment, and soon a new boat house as well.
Also, at the Southeast Regional Championship Regatta held May 9-10th 2009 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the girls' novice four captured a silver medal. In the qualifying heat, the girls rowed the 2000 meter course in a time of 7 minutes 56 seconds, which was fast enough to capture both second place and a spot in Finals. In the finals the girls again took second place.
In 2009 and again in 2010, the women's lightweight double, with Caitlin Mooney and Gabriella Gonzalez, qualified for and attended Scholastic Nationals in Camden, NJ (2009) and Saratoga, NY (2010)
In 2011, the Mens varsity 4+ placed 6th scholastically at the Florida State Championship Regatta. They then qualified and attended Scholastic Nationals in Camden, NJ
