HIGH SCHOOL Regattas

Please block off the entire day as all athletes are required to be there from start to finish of each regatta. Working together on regatta day is an important goal SJRC works to promote with the athletes.

Registration must be completed by a Parent or Guardian for Athletes under 18 years of age.  Athletes will not be allowed in a boat until their registration is complete.  Additionally, all SJRC high school rowers and coxswains will need to have a current USRowing Membership (at least the "Basic + Regatta Package" membership option -  approximately $40) at the time of registration valid through the last day of the program.  Go to USRowing's website to register, use the club code: AQR49. 

Swim Test:  Before being permitted in a boat, athletes must have completed a swim test.  If you have not previously performed a swim test or have a valid form on file at SJRC, a signed certification from your school or coach, your swim team or proof of the athlete's valid current lifeguard certifications will be accepted (download the form HERE).

We are excited to offer a new opportunity for the SJRC parents this fall - Learn to Row!

We will be holding a one-time session when you can get a chance to row under the expert guidance of our coaches and experienced rowers.   You will get a chance to learn more details about the boats, techniques and get a chance to get out on the water and see what your child is doing every day at practice. 

The session will be held Saturday Sept 17 from 9:30 - 11:30 (after practice) and the cost is $50. 

Please sign-up by Sept 10 so we can plan to have enough rowers and boats available.

More details/logistics will be provided closer to the event.

The Women's U19 2x competed at Women's Henley Regatta this past June, which was a first for the club.  The women raced a time trial on the first day of competition to move on to the head to head brackets.  Results are not posted just whether or not the crew advances, which the girls did taking first overall (results were posted after we returned home).   They were then placed in the lower bracket where they advanced to the finals, with two easily verdicts and one verdict 1/2 length, which landed them in the final.  Tough racing conditions and being in the unfamiliar lane the girls had a hard fought second place finish overall at the regatta.

The 2019 Spring Season capped off at the USRowing Youth Nationals Championships in Sarasota, FL.  The team matched it's 2018 entries with six boats competing at the event with the top competition across the country.  

It was a great weekend of racing and good results for the boats.  A lot of youth in these boats that shows for a promising results next year at this National Championship.
