The first regatta of the 2012 spring season, our Quad Race at Lake Lanier, is in the books for AJRA! It was a strong showing for the whole team, showcasing our depth and providing valuable race experience early in the spring. AJRA rowers had a chance to race against Augusta Rowing, Capital City Rowing, and St. Andrews in all events.

The women’s varsity team provided lots of excitement with a clean sweep, with the V8, 2V8, and 3V8 all taking first place in their races. The women’s novice team followed suit, with the 1st Novice 8 winning both of their races, and the 2nd Novice 8 coming in 3rd in the same race. On the men’s side, there were several close races with the V8 coming in 3rd, and the 2V8 and 3V8 winning both of their flights. The men’s novice team raced in even lineups, and provided stiff competition for each other while coming in 2nd and 3rd in their pieces.

Our next race will be the John Hunter Regatta on March 24th, so plenty of time to put in more hard work and continue to build speed.
