On Saturday, March 29, AJRA competed at the John Hunter Regatta on Lake Lanier, and as usual for early spring regattas, inclement weather and winds threatened the racing all day. However, the mood of the AJRA rowers couldn’t be dampened, and they still went out to compete with local and regional teams and bring home several medals.
The highlight of the day was AJRA sweeping the Junior Eight Championship races, winning both the Men’s and Women’s Varsity 8+’s by a significant margin. Additionally, AJRA also won the Men’s Varsity 4+ in a tight race featuring four boats across at the finish line.
