1. Six Varsity Crews Advance to Nationals!
We were hoping for a weather miracle, and we got it! Despite a bleak weather forecast, the 2013 MidAtlantic District Championship went off without any serious weather events, just a 50 minute weather delay around 4:00p. In fact, most of the day brought calm waters, minimal wind...all-around great rowing conditions! And our athletes took advantage from the very beginning.
2. Crews Impress at Long Island
Cinco de Mayo proved to be an even bigger reason to celebrate for the crews who traveled to Oyster Bay, NY, for the Long Island Junior Rowing Championships. Despite washed out roads, detours, and storm damage still apparent from Hurricane Sandy, NRC crews performed phenomenally in a very competitive field, collecting 8 medals!
3. Success at Saratoga
This past weekend, we took some of our Varsity crews to the Saratoga Invitational Regatta, billed as showcasing the best of the East...and it did not disappoint! And unlike previous years (we were told), the weather and race course conditions for the weekend were phenomenal.
