Sixteen-year-old Alex Warren will be rowing in his first Head of the Charles this year alongside his high school team. This is an excerpt from WBUR's Saturday morning newsletter, The Weekender.

Wilson’s son, Alex Warren, represents one end of the race’s wide age spectrum. The 16-year-old is making his Head of the Charles debut this year, but he’s no newcomer to the regatta. But for years, Warren was mostly uninterested in the sport his parents held dear, and opted to play hockey throughout middle school. He credits his fellow students for inspiring the switch to crew in high school. “When I joined Cambridge Rindge and Latin School crew, I found a welcoming and supportive community that wasn’t quite as present in hockey,” said Warren in an email.
“Some people enjoy rowing on their own. For me, it’s more about enjoying the friends and family I have from the sport, and the community that I’m in,” said Wolf, a 53-year-old Head of the Charles veteran who first got involved in crew as a freshman at Northeastern.His favorite memory dates back to his first Head of the Charles. It was one of the early morning races, before the crowds come and fill up the river’s banks and bridges.
