Medal Haul at Long Island Championships

Both the boys teams and the girls teams brought home lots of hardware from the 2012 Long Island Rowing Championships.  Particularly impressive were the various girls quads of all ages.

Pulling With Purpose -- Varsity Girls 2x Wins Cooper Cup!!!


River Rowing's Varsity Girls 2x -- Anna Gackowski (bow) and Carolyn Mazzie (stroke) -- won the varsity doubles race at the Cooper Cup regatta in Camden, NJ this past weekend.  They added a bit more drama than needed by catching a crab with a few strokes to go in the 2000m race.  Despite that, they crossed the line a length ahead of the second place crew.  With their win, they were awarded an actual cup that is theirs to keep until next year's race.  Our plan is to keep winning so we never have to give it back.

Successful Pull With Purpose Row-a-thon!



Our 6th Annual Pull With Purpose Row-a-thon was a great success!  Thanks to everyone who helped and who participated.  The event raised over $10,000 for the Nyack Center - we're still counting the proceeds to determine a final tally.

Congratulations to the winning team -- the RRA Senior Girls!  They won in convincing fashion over the second place RRA masters men and third place RRA Boys (all scores handicapped by age and gender).  The Senior Girls' handicap adjusted splits were 1:39.  Their raw splits were 1:59.  On raw time, the RRA men's team maintained the fastest average splits of 1:46 per 500 meters and covered over 33,000 meters during the two hours of rowing.

Many teams both local and visiting participated.  We were especially pleased that Row NY - a fantastic program in NYC that provides rowing opportunities to inner-city children - was able to attend.  Locally, the Nyack Rotary and the Nyack Center (with three teams) were a big part of the event.

Look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
