Spring 2027:
The Work Becomes the Race.
Spring is when the work of fall and winter meets the starting line.
After months of building strength, endurance, technical skill, and
team connection, AJRA athletes return to the water ready to compete
and ready to see how far their preparation can take them.
With a strong tradition of competitive racing, the spring brings a full schedule of opportunities to race against some of the best youth programs in the region and beyond. Athletes will compete for lineups, race for medals, chase personal bests, and work toward qualifying for the USRowing Youth National Championships.
But competitive rowing is about more than results. It’s about learning to perform under pressure, trusting each other in the boat, and discovering what happens when preparation, commitment, and teamwork come together.

COLLEGIATE RECORD
AJRA rowers spend a lot of time at the boathouse during challenging academic school years. They learn very quickly how to manage time efficiently and stay focused in order to achieve academic excellence. The structure and skill required of AJRA athletes provide lifelong benefits, and by the time they are seniors, AJRA rowers demonstrate how discipline and perseverance make them successful both on and off the water.
