Youth Nationals I
Youth Nationals was great. This was the first time I’ve attended and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was some excellent, close racing on Sunday, and some great rowing. It’s good to see the crews that are winning are also the ones who row the best.
I also want to throw a plug out there for Cincinnati. […]
