Competitors at the John Hunter Regatta at Lake Lanier on March 26 saw hours-long rain delays, schedule changes, and unseasonably cool weather.  But those obstacles couldn’t stop AJRA rowers from accomplishing their goal:  winning the championship team trophy for the youth team scoring the most overall points.  In fact, AJRA was a commanding presence at the regatta, winning every Novice and Varsity Men’s and Women’s 8 event except for the Men’s 2V8, which placed second. 

Congratulations, AJRA!  Thanks also to the amazing parents who braved the weather to volunteer and cheer on the team.  Click HERE for the complete results!

Baylor notified us late last week that they will be unable to host the tri-race on the morning of March 12 because of a conflict with another event scheduled on their campus.  The afternoon races against McCallie and Girls Preparatory School will take place as planned .  However, all races will now be held at the GPS campus in Chattanooga.

AJRA rowers took to the water for the first races of the Spring Season on Feb. 26 in Tallahassee in a tri-race with OARS and CCR.  These two Florida teams represent some of the strongest competition in the SE Region each year.   In addition to giving our rowers valuable race experience, the races help coaches see how our boats stack up this early in the season.   

Highlights include our 2nd Varsity Women’s 8 placing 2nd ahead of CCR in two races and our 3rd VW’s 8 coming in 1st.  For the Varsity Men, the 1st  8 placed 2nd ahead of CCR in one race and the 2nd VM 8 earned 2nd in front of CCR in two races. 

Congratulations to our Novice Women and Men with close to half of the rowers on those squads completing their first competition this past weekend!
