On a beautiful fall day on our home stretch of the Chattahoochee, AJRA rowers successfully defended the coveted Coaches Cup as overall team winner of the Henley on the Hooch regatta Nov. 13 — giving the club bragging rights against friendly rivals St. Andrew Rowing Club for the 7th consecutive year.  The event featured 11 Novice and Varsity races along with exhibition racing by AJRA’s Developmental squad.  In tightly contested events, AJRA won 9 races — besting St. Andrew in all categories except 1st and 2nd Varsity Men’s 8+ boats.   The regatta was  started in 1996 and gets its name from the famed British Henley Regatta, which is the longest running sporting event in the world.  The event showcases the competitive field of athletes and the growing popularity of youth rowing in the city of Atlanta while providing spectators an opportunity to see firsthand the intensity and excitement of rowing competition.  Congratulations, AJRA! Henley on the Hooch Results Here.
