“I am so proud of our athletes who competed at Northeast Regionals, “ says Dave Grossman, Director of Rowing for the Saugatuck Rowing Club, “We had 22 boats race with a total of 126 athletes competing. I am very happy with the maturity and skill level of our athletes. They have been training day in and day out since August for this. Saugatuck did a great job, and nearly 100 athletes will be moving on to race at Youth Nationals in June. Last year, we had 73 athletes race at Nationals. This is a significant increase, showing how serious this group of athletes takes their training and commitment to the sport and team. I can’t wait to see what our athletes accomplish next week. Go Saugatuck!”
In addition to an exciting month of rowing accomplishments, the Saugatuck Rowing Club proudly announced this year’s College Recruitment success stories, with over 25 of its senior athletes’ plans for their collegiate future. SRC Coaches provide their athletes with one-on-one college prep, from personal introductions to campus coaches to guidance through the application process and interview prep.
“Our wish, and goal, is to align our Juniors with the college that will allow them to continue to be outstanding in all of their endeavors, just as they have with us on the water, “says Grossman.
