Hello Mercer friends and family,

This weekend is the Schuylkill/Navy Regatta in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, there were no junior teams signed up for racing, and to pay for a regatta to only race ourselves doesn’t make much sense for our juniors. Coach Jamie and Coach Amanda have decided to cancel the junior participation in this event and instead focus on the Independence Day Regatta coming up at the end of the month.

If you know you CANNOT make the IDR please inform your coaches and fill out the absence form so they can start entering boats and lineups for this event. The more time we have to practice lineups the better the results will be! We are sorry to not have a race this weekend, but this also gives the team more time to adjust to our new teammates and lineups.

The Masters will still race at Schuylkill/Navy and Coach Matt will have the details for the races and boats later this week!

GO MERCER!!!

Important!

Race times for Saturday have changed and are now earlier in the day! There were some last minute race cancelations and now the races have been shifted earlier. Hopefully this will not impact your schedule for the day too much, but please let your coach know if you have any issues with the updated times.

The spreadsheet from the previous blog has been updated with the new times. Please click HERE for the blog post with the spreadsheet.

GO MERCER!!!

Hello Mercer friends and family!

Tomorrow, May 2nd, we will be taking team pictures at the boathouse before practice starts. Please wear your team’s UNIFORM whether that is a uni or white t-shirt and black spandex. If your 8th grader does not have a white Mercer shirt one will be provided for them!

This picture session will also include senior pictures, so if your senior knows which college they will be attending please bring a shirt (or hat) with that school’s name or logo on it. If they are still undecided, the Mercer uniform will be the alternative.

All clothing orders from Nike, Patagonia, and JL will be in by this Friday. Currently we have everything but the JL outerwear currently in the office. Please see Coach Amanda to pick up your gear!

We will also have a table out with all the Lost and Found items displayed. Please have your rower check the table even if they don’t think they are missing anything! We have an impressive collection of sweatshirts and trou that will be donated later this week if not claimed on Wednesday.

Let’s all enjoy this beautiful weather!

GO MERCER!!!

Hello!

If you ordered Patagonia it is available for pickup before or after practice in the office, please see Coach Amanda!

Thanks,

GO MERCER!

Hello mercer friends and family!

This is a friendly reminder that Patagonia orders must be handed in TODAY to Coach Amanda so we can get our order in before the weekend. Please attach a check or cash to the order form payable to ‘PNRA’. Novices are NOT required to buy any gear, varsity need a uni and a Nike travel polo.

Our JL website will also be closing TONIGHT! For more information on this order please see our earlier blog post HERE. We do not handle any part of the JL order so if you have questions on sizing or delivery please reach out to their customer service or find the ‘Sizing and Measurements’ page. They have great examples of sizes on their website!

The Nike order form is available today and will be due next Wednesday, April 4th! This is the order for sweatshirts, sweatpants, polos, hats, sports bras, and beanies. The payment method will be the same as for the Patagonia gear, check or cash brought in with the order form and turned in to Coach Amanda. The sizes are all normal EXCEPT THE WOMEN’S SWEATSHIRTS RUN ONE SIZE SMALL. I’m typically a ‘small’ but I have a ‘medium’ and it fits perfectly for example. All other clothing is standard sizing.

We have collected an impressive amount of Lost and Found items and will be donating the clothing next Tuesday, April 3rd. Please have your rower check the boxes in the erg room hallway to see if they can find any missing gear. The coaches go through it to make sure there aren’t any names on tags, so please encourage your rower to write their name (or at least initials) on the tag for a greater chance of the item being returned to the rightful owner.

GO MERCER!!!

If you are unable to make this meeting we are holding a ‘make-up’ meeting Tuesday, March 27th, at 6:15 PM (right after practice ends). If you cannot attend either meeting please reach out to Coach Amanda for the information you have missed at aklaibershort@rowpnra.org.

1. Click HERE to sign up for a Concept 2 account or log into the one you already have
2. Join our team, PNRA/Mercer
3. Click HERE to get to the Virtual Team Challenge (right side of the page)
4. Join the challenge by JANUARY 16TH! The rules ask that all meters rowed be logged by Friday of the week you rowed them. Avoid entering all your meters on January 31st

If you have any questions please ask your respective coaches for assistance.

GO MERCER!!!

Hello Mercer friends and family,

This is our last full week of the fall season and winter information has been posted previously in the blog. Winter registration is now OPEN, so please make sure your rower is registered and ready for our indoor season. This Friday, 11/17, will be the all boathouse clean up. Please encourage your rower to wear clothes that can get dirty and bring extra layers.

The Lost and Found will be donated at the end of the week so it can start over for a new season. Please check for any clothing and water bottles that you may have misplaced before we take it to Homefront! Any Mercer gear will be held so check with Coach Amanda if you cannot find a piece of Nike, Patagonia, or JL clothing. If you have ordered any Nike or Patagonia gear, all pieces are now available for pickup! Please see Coach Amanda before or after practice for pick up, and make sure you have sent a check for Patagonia gear with your rower.

Our expansion fundraiser is a few short days away! Rowers have been given raffle tickets to try and sell for our ‘Boat of Cheer’ worth $1000. Please return any leftover tickets by Friday to your respective coaches. You can still purchase tickets to the event at TopGolf here! Check out the silent auction items here.

Hello Mercer Family and Friends,

October was an exciting month for PNRA/Mercer! The Head of the Halloween was a great opportunity for our rowers to get in boats and have a fun but competitive start to their weekend. We had NINE mixed line-up boats and two 8^th grade boats head out on the water, with the results listed below:

1. Sneikus- 18:16.1
2. Weir- 18:20.6
3. No Name- 18:28.7
4. J-kow- 18:33.3
5. Caspersen- 18:42.3
6. G1- 18:57.6
7. Merion- 19:07.3
8. B2- 19:08.7
9. B3- 19:26.7

There was an incredible spread of treats after the race and we cannot thank the parents who donated goods and helped serve enough!

The Head of the Schuylkill was a successful weekend for our Masters and Novice crews. The Masters came away with a 2^nd place finish in the Women’s 60+ Veterans 4+ and a 3^rd place finish in the 40-49 Women’s 4+. The other Masters boats performed well taking 5^th in both the 50-59 Men’s and Women’s 4+, and 4^th in the 27-39 Women’s 4+. It was a perfect, sunny day for racing! The novice had slightly drearier weather; it rained the entire time the rowers were at the course! The team handled the weather well and raced to a 5^th and 20^th place finish for the girls novice boats out of 43 entries. The boys novice boats placed 19^th and 32^nd out of a field of 53 boats.

We are still looking for volunteers for the Frostbite and Braxton regattas on Mercer Lake November 11-12. We need stake boat holders for every shift, and a few more launch drivers to fill out the empty slots. The link for the Frostbite is HERE and the Braxton link is HERE. Stake boating is a great way for novice rowers to see how the start of a race will look before they compete on Sunday!

Lastly, there are two Women’s National Team rowers in need of local family housing ASAP! If you are interested, or know someone who may be, please contact Hilary at hgehman@rowpnra.org.

GO MERCER!!!

Hello Mercer friends and family,

Mercer had an extremely exciting weekend at the Head of the Charles regatta in Boston! Our Varsity girls took home 5th and 13th out of 85 boats, and our Varsity boys placed 19th out of 85 boats, securing all 3 entries for next year. The Masters women’s 4+ came away from the course in 25th place and the Masters men’s 4+ finished 29th in hotly contested races. The weekend was a perfect example of the universal appeal of rowing across the US, with juniors, colleges, masters, and elite athletes coming together to try their hand at an incredibly difficult course. The sunny conditions made for speedy racing, with an astounding 34 new record times for the Charles!

This weekend our rowers will stay closer to home with the Head of the Halloween on Saturday and the Head of the Schuylkill in Philadelphia. The Head of the Halloween will take place from 10 AM to 1 PM at Mercer Lake, and will be an Around The Lake (ATL) course in mixed boats. ALL athletes are encouraged to attend in costume (that won’t get in the way of rowing) and bring some snacks and cider to share. The Novice rowers who will be competing at the Schuylkill will not be racing but are encouraged to attend to join in on the fun!

Coach Zach and Coach Amanda are beyond excited to be able to bring four Novice boats to the Head of the Schuylkill for the second year in a row. Two boys and two girls boats will try their skill on this 4k course against over 40 other boats in their races! Parents are encouraged to drop off their rower and find the parent tent for a great vantage point along this historic river. Our Masters will be racing Saturday in a women’s 8+, three women’s 4+s, and a men’s 4+. They are looking to build upon their success at the Navy Day regatta held on the Schuylkill earlier this month! A small fee is associated with this race, so look for a registration link coming soon.

Come down to the boathouse or the Schuylkill to be apart of a fantastic weekend of racing!

GO MERCER!!!

Hello Mercer friends and family,

There will be NO PRACTICE this Friday and Sunday for all teams (10/20 and 10/22). Please look for instructions from your coach about alternate workouts for these days! Our coaching staff will largely be in Boston racing/coaching boats at the Head of the Charles, so check out the live stream for the weekend here.

This week, please encourage your rower(s) to check the lost and found box in the erg room. We will be donating the clothing to Home Front on Monday (10/23). The coaches are also finding numerous plastic water bottles around the boathouse after practices. We want to encourage rowers to bring reusable nalgenes or water bottles to practice with their names written on them to help prevent waste.

This weekend was a successful showing for the Masters Team at the Navy Day regatta! The women’s 8+ won their division and was the fastest Masters 8+ on the water the whole day! The women’s 4+ also won their division and was the second fastest 4+ of the day. Their next race will be at the Head of the Charles this weekend and will feature a women’s and men’s 4+. Good luck!

Patagonia orders will be accepted until Wednesday night so please see this blog post for a link to the order form! Our Nike gear should all be in by Friday, with the exception of the Men’s Medium polos (which will be shipping soon). Please remind your rower to pick up his/her gear!

TopGolf tickets are still available for our Fall Fundraiser Event. There will be auction items including private rowing lessons and even a Tuscan Villa! This event is November 19^th, and proceeds will be going to our boathouse’s expansion.

PNRA will be hosting a screening of the documentary ‘Dare to Be’ on December 17^th at 10 AM. All PNRA friends and family are encouraged to attend this event at the Princeton Garden Theater; tickets will be on sale soon! For more information on the film check out the website.

GO MERCER!!!

Hello Mercer friends and family!

Our Varsity and Master’s Teams had great showings at the Head of the Housatonic this last weekend! Some of the highlights include a 1st/2nd finish for our girls’ 2V boats, a close 4^th place to our girls’ 1V, and a strong 6^th place finish for the boys’ 1V. There will be an additional blog post about the lineups for our next race, the Head of the Charles, coming soon!

Coach Zach and Coach Amanda have decided they will be taking two novice 8s each to the Head of the Schuylkill in Philadelphia, October 29^th. They are impressed with the novices’ progress and can’t wait to see their boats in action during this huge race! Both events have over 40 novice boats entered at this time.

Most of our Nike gear has been delivered! Please see Coach Amanda before or after practice to pick up what you ordered. We are still waiting for our men’s MEDIUM pants, women’s MEDIUM sweatshirts, and women’s SMALL pants to be delivered, but they are expected soon. If you ordered anything from JL they will be shipping our team order at the end of October.

Our next gear order will be Patagonia! These items are great as gifts for the holidays (which are fast approaching!) and will be in before our winter break December 20^th. The Patagonia order form is a google document that can be found at this LINK.
Please turn in the orders by WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18^th! No late orders will be accepted.

This weekend is our Octoberfest celebration! This is a 21+ event and dinner will be provided. Feel free to bring your favorite adult beverage! Keep in mind our fundraiser at Top Golf, November 19^th, tickets are limited.

Mercer is off to a great start this Fall!

Hello!

Our JL Store will open soon! The shipping time is about 5-6 weeks so we should have our gear in before the Mercer Sprints in April. Varsity athletes need to have a “uni” to race in and we suggest our novice athletes purchase a pair of “trou” to race in. Novice are not required to purchase any gear, and the only item varsity needs is the unisuit. Late orders will delay our shipment so please order in the time frame provided.

The Varsity Spring practice schedule has been confirmed. They will practice Saturday from 10:30 AM-1 PM and Sunday from 7-10 AM. Tuesdays are now OFF for all varsity rowers.

Novice practice will be held this Saturday (3/4) from 8:30-10:30. This is the last practice of the Winter season for our novice rowers. We will be having OPTIONAL practices for novice rowers before spring season starts. These are open to all novice currently signed up for spring.

Boys: March 7th, 6-8 PM. This date is set. March 9th and 15th, 6-8 PM. These dates are tentative and weather permitting.

Girls: March 14th, 6-8 PM. This date is set. March 8th and 16th, 6-8 PM. These dates are tentative and weather permitting.

We will update the schedule at the beginning of each week once we know what the weather forecast will be. This is a great way to get some strokes in before the season starts!

We made it through the winter! GO MERCER!

Look for our JL Gear Store soon! We will send out an update when the store is officially open, hopefully later this week. New varsity rowers will need to order a Uni, and we recommend Novice rowers purchasing a pair of racing trou (rowing spandex shorts).

We still have ergs available for purchase! They are $450 and can be easily transported in any vehicle. We also have a incline bench for sale for $100. This is a larger piece of equipment, so a larger vehicle would be needed to transport it.

That’s all for now! GO MERCER!
