Row New York is back on the water at Meadow Lake. With the coming of spring, our rowers are outdoors again, ferrying boats from the racks to the water, tightening oarlocks, pushing off the docks, and rowing hard. The past several months were active, of course. Our girls spent those winter days erging and training indoors, keeping fit and building strength for the upcoming season. Now they are ready to put all their training to use in the service of speed and bringing home hardware.
The spring presents excellent opportunities for winning that hardware. The Big Duck Regatta, Mercer Lake Sprints, Long Island Championships, and New York State Championships are all ahead. Last spring, the medals came pouring in and made the season one of our most decorated. We expect nothing less this year.
Pulling our hardest and seizing victories on the water comes first, but our girls have been enjoying the finer things of spring rowing as well. The warmth of the sun, the lake breeze, and the splashes of water are all welcome sensations after a season indoors.
Our schedule this spring:
Mercer Lake Sprints – April 20 and 21
Big Duck Regatta – April 28
Long Island Championships – May 6
New York State Championships – May 11 and 12
