The rowing team is teaming up with the dance marathon for an exciting ergathon fundraiser benefiting Camp Good Days. Athletes from both clubs plus all FM students from can row ergs and dance to raise money for the pediatric cancer organization.

Our History
The idea for a Fayetteville-Manlius High School Crew program began in 2001 when parent, Bob O’Leary, became aware of the success of the sport enjoyed at other high schools. He believed a Crew program would help connect students with their school and each other in a new way and provide positive opportunities for those not currently involved in a high school sport. At that time, only a handful of FM students had tried rowing. Early skeptics wondered whether enough interest existed to fill one eight-person shell.
In May 2002, Judge O’Leary organized an information meeting to introduce more FM students and parents to the sport of rowing. Joined by a determined group of parents and students, supported by the Saratoga Rowing Association’s coach, Chris Chase, FM Athletic Director, Rich Roy, and the Syracuse Chargers Rowing Club, the foundation of the FM rowing club began to emerge. In the spring of 2004, with the support of Fayetteville-Manlius Superintendent, Philip Martin and the School Board members, the Fayetteville-Manlius Crew program was created.
And the rest is history.
