We had a great weekend of competition and camaraderie at NW regionals at Dexter lake in Lowell, Oregon, over the weekend.
There was some tough competition, but we held our own. We are competitive with these clubs who have much more experience and time rowing at this venue. We made it into finals in four events: women's quad, women’s lightweight double, mixed double and men’s double. We won medals in the women's quad and lightweight doubles races.
The wind was definitely a factor at this venue! It steadily increased throughout the day everyday. All the rough water practices back at Lake Stevens helped to prepare us. It was exciting to see all of our crews perform in tough conditions with the region's best teams!
Thank you, teammates, for all your support. The cheering really helped to spur our racers on! Thank you, Coach Kevin, for our repeated 1 k workouts!
Onward to head racing! Let's get 'em!
