Have you ever felt like something just wasn’t meant to happen — like our March 12 races? If you’ve been following the news, you may have heard that flooding has been a major problem this week in Chattanooga as a result of recent rains. McCallie notified us today that the race venue for March 12 has been closed for recreational use through at least next Monday because the water levels on the Chattahoochee River are too high.
AJRA coaches have been scrambling to find alternate race sites and opponents for our rowers. We now have scheduled all AJRA rowers to race on Sat., March 19: Varsity at Lake Lanier and Novice on the Chattahoochee. The Varsity Women and Men will race Cincinnati Juniors and Saint Andrew at Lake Lanier Rowing Club. Novice Men and Women will go head-to-head against Saint Andrew on our home course along Azalea Drive. Race logistics and times will be communicated in an email shortly and will be posted on the Members Only page. Rowers should let their coaches know if they have a schedule conflict.
Thank you for your patience with these unavoidable changes!
