WINTER PARK, Fla. – There must be something in the water in Winter Park! Once again, the high school’s vaunted girls crew team will head across the pond to compete on the international stage at the Henley Royal Regatta in England later this month. Before then, these young ladies, fresh off winning their 10th Scholastic National Championship in the past six years, will compete in the Youth National Championships in Sarasota later this week.
I spent some time with the team and its longtime head coach, Mike Vertullo, at a recent practice on Lake Howell in Casselberry.
