CRC Open Boathouse
In a first of its kind open boathouse, the CRC community gathered at 2999 Glascock St to watch practice and enjoy a meal. Friends, family, coworkers and alumni all had the opportunity to ride the coaches’ launches and catch a glimpse of the club’s daily activities. It was a pleasure to host many of the individuals who support our athletes on their Olympic journey’s and celebrate the club’s efforts!
National Selection Regatta Preparations
The club is in final preparations for the upcoming National Selection Regatta (NSR) on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, NJ. The selection event will take place on May 1st to 3rd with athletes competing in the M1x, W1x and M2-. NSR is a speed order event, meaning that all US rowers looking to be selected for the upcoming national team selection camps will converge on Mercer Lake to identify top talent. NSR will provide an opportunity to test the speed and boat combinations developed in recent months. To learn more about each athlete and their Olympic Journey, navigate to our athlete roster.
