6/14/2008 Lightweight Boys finish 2nd in the C-level Final-This morning found good water and cool conditions for the Repechage.  A strong race, the NRRA boys found the competition at a whole new level of speed.  Finishing 5th in the Rep placed them in the C-final that raced at 1:20pm today.  In a very tight race that separated just a bit in the 3rd 500m, the NRRA boys couldn't quite catch Sarasota.  They closed the gap from the Reps but it wasn't enough.  The young crew learned a lot and are ready to bring back their experience to the team and start preparing for next year's return trip to the USRowing Youth National Championships.

6/13/2008 Lightweight Boys Advance to Reperchage- Lots of good racing this morning at Lake Harsha on a beautiful morning.  The boys 4+ raced in their heat this morning and placed 5th of 5.  When they saw they weren't going to place top 3 (advancing directly to the semis) they conserved their energy and coasted to the line.  Unfortunately a 2 hour storm delay this afternoon extended to a complete cancellation.  The boys repechage (the rep is another qualifier between the heats and the semis) was moved to Saturday morning where the weather looks much nicer! They hope to make the top 3 and advance to the Semis.  If they place 4-6, they will be in the C final.  For more details on the results go to www.racetrak.com

6/12/2008 Lightweight Boys 4+ prepares for National Championships- Today, after a REAL early morning flight, the Ltwt. 4 of Lane, Tommy, Clay, Ben and Luke, arrived at Lake Harsha in Cincinnati, OH.  Today consisted of a practice on the race course to learn some new landmarks and to get the travel kinks out.  It's hot but no different than the last week of practice.  The forecast looks for a great day of racing tomorrow in their qualifying heat at 10am.  Check back here for more updates-charles & liz
