| Coaching Changes for Novice Girls |
|
SLRC's Novice Girls' Coach for the past two years, Trish Milla, has accepted a job offer that will not allow her to continue coaching. Trish did a great job, and everyone at SLRC wishes her the best with her new job. The good news is that she will still be seen around the boathouse practicing with the Masters rowers. Thanks for all your good work with the girls, Trish!
Replacing Trish as our new Novice Girls' Coach is Kai Dadian. Kai is a 2007 University City HS graduate, and he rowed for SLRC for three years. He went on to graduate from Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH. Assisting Kai with the novice girls is another alum from our junior program, Anna Olson.
We're excited to welcome these two great additions to the coaching staff! |

| Youth National Medalists! |
|
SLRC sent three crews and fourteen junior rowers to the 2011 USRowing Youth National Championships at Oak Ridge, TN on June 10-12. The boys' coxed four won the club's first ever silver medal at the Youth Nationals, coming in four seconds behind Oakland Strokes (Oakland, CA) and three seconds ahead of bronze medalists Deerfield Academy (Massachusetts) and the rest of a strong field. Congratulations to Jack Welsh (stroke), B.J. Francis (3), Jon Young (2), Austin Vondras (bow), and Diana Kwon (cox) on an outstanding weekend's rowing and on raising the bar for future SLRC crews.
The girls' four (Katie Westervelt, stroke, Alyssa Drevenak, three, Anna Olsen, two, Isabella Benduski, bow, and Sarah Lasini, cox) came fifteenth in the deepest event at the regatta, and the boys' quad (Khurram Naveed, stroke, Ryan Cohen, three, Jimmy Francis, two, and Brendan Jones, bow) put in a particularly good row on the final day, ending up sixteenth in the nation.
Congratulations to all our YNC rowers on a memorable regatta! |
