2023 Spring Sprints

For this year's Spring Sprints regatta we had twenty-three clubs with over 500 rowers participating. Our new regatta director, Marc Gordon, thought of everything and the weekend was well run, organized, and went smoothly, based on feedback from the referees and other club members. The new timing system, CrewTimer, was a great addition and the developer was on hand to help us get started. The regatta was a great success!

The first day of the regatta was Saturday and the races were mostly youth. The Club doesn't currently have any youth rowers, so we didn't have any racers that day. The weather was overcast, but otherwise had good conditions for rowing.

Sunday's weather, on the other hand, started with rain, but cleared up and left us overcast skies and some wind in the afternoon. The Club had crews in twelve races and participants performed well.

Congratulations to all of the race participants. Thank you to the many people who worked tirelessly and often behind the scenes to make the regatta a success.

Setup for the Spring Sprints Regatta

The Lake Stevens Rowing Club’s Spring Sprints Regatta starts tomorrow, so the some of the crew spent some time today out on the water setting up the buoys for the race lanes. It takes some work to play out the buoys with their chains and anchors, but there was time for a bit of fun too. There are a number of other prep activities volunteers were working on too, like erecting the regatta headquarters and first aid canopies, cleaning the boathouse, scrubbing the rescue launch boats, sorting out the ribbons and medals for the placing rowers. Great teamwork everyone. We are ready for tomorrow.

LSRC Spring Sprints Regatta 2017

While Saturday brought in some crazy weather, we persevered and hosted most of the events. Sunday was much better with only the wind picking up here and there. Thank you to all of our visiting teams, officials, volunteers and club for making 2017 a great Sprint Regatta for all!
