| 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! |

| Winter Learn-to-Row Classes |
|
We are now accepting registrations for our popular winter learn-to-row session. This course for adults is a three-phase Learn to Row program which focuses initially on indoor rowing, but includes on-the-water training as soon as weather permits. Your class tuition of $275 includes club membership through June 2012.
Phase I: Classes on rowing fundamentals and rowing technique will take place on ten successive Tuesday and Thursday evenings February 7 to March 8, 2012, from 7:30-9:00PM. They will be held at our boathouse at Creve Coeur Lake.
Phase II: Until the weather gets warm enough to row on the lake, you will have the opportunity to practice indoor rowing with our experienced adult rowers. They have regularly scheduled, coached workout sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:00PM.
Phase III: On the water: as a class, we will have your first water row on Sunday, March 11, from 10am–12pm, weather permitting. If Mother Nature interferes, we’ll reschedule this session. Following completion of Learn-to-Row, you are encouraged to continue rowing with our Intermediates (Novice) Adult rowers at no additional charge: your class tuition also includes club membership through June 2012.
For more information, call 314-434-8299 or email stlouisrowing_info@yahoo.com. To register, download our registration flyer, and mail the form with your check to the address on the flyer. To enroll online, visit our Dues/Payments page and select the Winter Learn-to-Row button in the Adult Rowers column. |

| 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! |
