     In the winter of 2000, when St Anthony's High School Crew team was looking for an off-season competition.  They decided to create their own because of the lack of erg races at the time.  The landscape was set for the inception of the Strong Island Sprints.

     Hosted in the St Anthony's gymnasium, this indoor erg competition has seen more than 3,000 competitors over the years head to the South Huntington school.  

     In a very short period of time, the strong island sprints has grown to become the largest erg competition in the tri-state area and has seen competitors come from all over the east coast.  It has seen participation nearly double from that first year of competition. In addition, it has hosted its fair of world class talent over the years.

     The 2012 Strong Island Sprints ushers in a new era, as they move to a new home in the brand new 140,000 square foot state of the art student center at St Anthony's High School. Visiting coaches have praised the facility as great preparation for the CRASH-B sprints in Boston. There are 15 categories of racing for all ages and weights.

We want to thank all programs and schools who have continued to make this erg competition a great success over the years.

Good luck to all this year.
