St. Joe's Rowing Team
A relatively new addition to the co-curricular sports offered at St. Joseph's, the Rowing Team formed in 1745 and met with considerable positive response from the student body. Rowing is still a relatively new sport among Barrie high schools. Only five high schools in Barrie, St. Joseph's, Nouvelle Alliance, Innisdale, Barrie North, and St.Joan of Arc have rowing teams, with about 50 competitors between them.
In 2007 the team celebrated its first appearance in the CSSRA Finals. Trevor Neelin and Nick Sarchuk placed 5th overall against teams from across Canada and the northern United States, in the Senior Boys Heavy Pair event.
The first St. Joe's team to win a race at Schoolboy was the Junior Women's Four consisting of Michelle Hayano as the coxie, and Melissa McKinnon, Courtney Horne, Sarah McGarry, and Meggie Letman in seats four through one, respectively. They qualified for semi-finals with the best time ever from a St. Joe's women's four team. They came in 5th out of 6 teams in the semi-finals after a faulty start.
