 Tempe Junior Crew Qualifies 3 Boats for National Championships
The crew of 16 TJC athletes had an outstanding performance at the 2012 Southwest Regional Junior Championships held this past weekend at Lake Natoma near Sacramento, CA. Out of TJC’s 10 events, the athletes medaled in 3, advanced to finals in 5, and had competed hard in all! The qualifying boats are: M Ltwt 2X: Trevor Day/Connor Mitchell M 4X: Trevor Day/Connor Mitchell/Sean Crimmins/Galen Bernick W 4X: Rachel Borden/Allison Kwiecinski/Abby Diazcadena/Ali Mettler Despite clear skies, Saturday’s conditions were rough with winds gusting from 15-20 mph all day creating whitecaps and severe crosswind at points along the course. The day began with strong races by both Galen Bernick and Chase Harris in their heats of the M 1X. Both placed third, just missing the final by less than 2 seconds and 7 seconds, respectively. The W Ltwt 2X duo of Amber Wright and Jordan Bonnell, both novices, competed next, rowing a clean race in challenging conditions and finishing 5th in their heat. Rachel Borden became TJC’s first finalist of the regatta by placing 3rd in her heat and moved on to the final where she placed 6th. She was followed by the M Ltwt 2X crew of Trevor Day and Connor Mitchell who placed 2nd in their heat and claimed the bronze medal in the final that afternoon, qualifying for Nationals. The guys had a short rest before getting back in a boat to compete in the M 4X heats where they, Sean Crimmins, and Galen Bernick placed 1st advancing to Sunday’s final. The M 4X “B” boat of Dalton Woodard, Bowen Shaner, Aashay Sanghvi, and Chase Harris had a strong performance taking 3rd in their heat. The W 4X crew of Rachel, Allison Kwiecinski, Abby Diazcadena, and Ali Mettler rowed to 1st in their heat to advance to the semi-finals on Sunday. The W 4X “B” boat of Jill Modean, Amber Wright, Rachel Day, and Jordan Bonnell showed good technique in the rough water to take 4th in their heat.Sunday’s racing conditions were better with a decreasing wind but increasing temperatures. The W4X started the day off right with a strategic race, taking 3rd in the semi-final to assure the desired lane assignment for the final. The M 4X fired up the team by winning the bronze medal in a very competitive final where the top 3 teams finished within 4 seconds of each other. The M 2X of Dalton Woodard and Bowen Shaner continued the momentum by advancing to their final where they raced well but came just short of qualifying for Nationals by taking 4th. The last event of the regatta was an exciting W 4X final where the TJC women took the bronze medal in a tight race to qualify their boat for Nationals. Congratulations to all the athletes for a superb effort - well done! |

THE DESERT SPRINTS REGATTA at TEMPE TOWN LAKE The largest rowing event in the State of Arizona. When: Saturday, March 10, 2012; 8:00 a.m. (Heats if needed will start at 7am)
Where: Tempe Town Lake, Tempe, AZ The waters of Tempe Town Lake will be churning with the blades of hundreds of rowers on March 10, 2012 as Tempe hosts the 11th Annual Desert Sprints Regatta. Rowing clubs from California, Colorado and Utah are expected to compete against Arizona's best Junior/High School teams, ASU's club team and local Masters men's and women's crews in one of the first regattas of the spring sprint season. 'The Desert Sprints Regatta has been growing in popularity every year', said Kathy Moum, President of the regatta sponsor, the Tempe Rowers Association. Kathy also said that the TRA and the City of Tempe are looking at a combined effort to have a 1000M buoyed course installed on Town Lake in time for the regatta. The Junior races will be particularly competitive, as collegiate rowing programs are recruiting many of the local scholar-athletes from Brophy Prep, Tempe Junior Crew, Tempe Town Lake Rowing Juniors and Xavier Prep. For the Colorado and Utah teams, this may be the first time they have been able to row on the water in the new year, having prepared through rigorous winter-long workouts on rowing machines and other training regimens.Teams will be competing in a series of 1500 meter (Open and Junior Events) and 1000 meter (Masters and Mixed) races in both sculling and sweep boats. Spectators are encouraged to watch the races along the lake's north shore, with regatta headquarters and the boats launching from the SRP Marina, also located on the north shore of the lake. Sponsorship opportunities are available, including the highly coveted Trophy Races. For more information please contact Kathy Moum at 602-430-0206.Adaptive Racing: For the first time, the 2012 Desert Sprints will have Adaptive Racing. Tempe Town Lake has a committed and growing group of adaptive rowing athletes representing Rio Salado Rowing Club. Hope to see you all at Tempe Town Lake in March for the Desert Sprints Regatta. It will be a great way to open the season. |
