This Saturday, AJRA athletes will attend the Atlanta Erg Sprints, held at Georgia Tech’s Campus Recreation Center. Approximately 135 Atlanta Juniors will compete in nine different events, and will be looking to defend the Youth Team Points trophy for 2017. Several AJRA parents and alumni will be competing throughout the day as well! Find the full racing schedule on the Atlanta Erg Sprints website. Go AJRA!

In the last month, three of our Atlanta Juniors rowers have been featured locally for their accomplishments on and off the water.

Sally Weltner ’18, one of our Varsity Men’s coxswains, was selected as a part of Reporter Newspapers’ 20 Under 20, a list highlighting students under the age of 20 who are active in community volunteer work. You can read more about Sally here.

Dylan Paul ’18 (Varsity Men) and Nick Schab ’20 (Novice Men) were also featured by their school, Mount Vernon Presbyterian School, for their participation with AJRA.
