U23 and Junior National Teams

It is time to give a hearty congratulations to all the SRC athletes who have made the US Junior and U23 National Teams this week.

Nancy Miles, a recent graduate of Holy Names Academy and sculler at SRC is at GMS this Summer training for the US Junior 4x. She learned to scull only this last November and has been rowing for only 3 years! Way to go Nancy.

Michael Wales, a rising sophomore at Harvard and all around funny guy, has won a berth in the U23 Lightweight 4x that he had been training with at the Cambridge Boathouse this summer with some of his Harvard buddies. Michael was a highly successful athlete under Conal and his younger brother now trains at SRC. In addition to his athletic talent, Michael has amazing skills as a poet. You can see his boats blog here.

Liz Robinson, a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida and another HNA alumni, will be making her second appearance at the U23 World Championships in the Lightweight 4x. Liz rowed for four years at HNA where she enjoyed a successful sweep career and then joined the openweight team t UCF. She will be joining SRC full time starting this Summer to begin a post collegiate rowing career.

A valiant effort was put forth by Thomas Davidson to earn a seat in the U23 Lightweight 2-. Thomas rowed in that event two years ago and was looking to make another showing. However, the racing was very fast and Thomas and his pair partner finished 3rd in their final. Will we see you at Dartmouth, Thomas? I hope so.
