Good evening, Parents,
The following information pertains to those athletes who will be attending Club Nationals July 12-16 on Harsha Lake in Bethel, Ohio.
This is a prestigious regatta – clubs from all over the country compete in events at multiple levels, including U17, U19, Intermediate (similar to U23), and Elite/Senior. Athletes will compete in time trial events; those who qualify from time trials will advance. The regatta is broken down into two sections over five days: events that time trial Wednesday, for Friday finals; and events that time trial Friday for Sunday finals. The link for the event can be found on the USRowing site: www.usrowing.org.
The trip fee covers travel, hotels, regatta registration, ice, all meals, water and gatorade. Athletes should bring their own water bottle. There will be an opportunity for athletes to purchase extra snacks and regatta gear. All extra purchases will be at the athlete’s expense, so they should plan to bring additional spending money.
