Hello!

Fall season for the Novice and 8th Grade Development Team starts on Wednesday, September 6th, at 4 PM and will run until 6 PM. Please be on time to practice, and bring running shoes, a water bottle, hat, and sunscreen. Athletes should be prepared for warm weather.

Please have your athlete registered by the first day, and all forms completed and ready to hand in to Coach Amanda.

Caspersen Boathouse Location and Parking

The address for the Caspersen Rowing Center is 1 S.Post Road, West Windsor, NJ. Please note this is NOT the Marina or ‘The Boathouse’, which is on the other side of the lake.

If you are driving your athlete to practice, please DO NOT drive them all the way up to the boathouse- this area is reserved for coaches, staff, and buses. Rather, please drop your athlete off at the base of the parking lot; athletes will walk up to the boathouse from there. There will be parent volunteers the first few days to help set up the drop off system!

There are over 150 athletes registered for the Mercer Junior Programs this Fall. The parking lot will be busy, both at drop off and at pick up. We ask for your patience and appreciate you following the parking protocol. The athletes will know where to go, and will be able to find you at the end of practice. Safety is our primary concern!

Mandatory Novice and Development Team Meetings

Novice Team- Saturday, September 16th, 9 AM at the Caspersen Rowing Center

8th Grade- Saturday, September 16th, 11 AM at the Caspersen Rowing Center

At the meetings, coaches will explain more details about your respective programs. In the meantime, please refer to the Mercer Rowing section of the website for information.

GO MERCER!!!!!

Due to the success of the Mercer Rowing programs and growing popularity in the sport of rowing, interest in Mercer Junior Rowing has grown steadily in recent years.  Last year almost 200 athletes participated in the program.  This attendance has strained the program infrastructure, and has made it challenging for the coaching staff to provide a quality experience for all participants.  Early indications for Fall 2017 participation suggest that interest in the program may exceed last years record participation level.

The PNRA staff and Mercer coaches have spent time this summer considering the optimal size for the Mercer Junior Rowing program.  Based on evaluating numerous constraints (including equipment, workout space, coaching resources and water time) it will be necessary to implement a try-out period for the program starting with the Fall 2017 season. This will enable the program to have a squad size that will balance team size and depth, deliver a solid rowing experience for each athlete, and result in the team performance we all expect from Mercer Junior Rowing. 

All athletes interested in the varsity program will be asked to register for a try-out period which will consist of the first two weeks of the season.  During this try-out period athletes will be evaluated on running, erging, and a general fitness test.  After try-outs are held, the coaches will post a list of athletes who will be invited to join the team. Try-outs will be held in August for the fall season and in March/April for the spring season. An invitation to participate in the fall season will not guarantee an invitation to the spring season.

The Fall 2017 try-out period that will run from August 28^th through September 8^th.   At this time, the try-out period is being implemented for only the varsity teams.  

Payment from varsity rowers for the fall season will be due after the fall roster has been posted at the conclusion of the two week try-out period.

Fall Varsity Try Outs will be held August 28^th– September 9^th, 2017

Selection will be based on the coaches’ assessment and judgment of the following criteria:

1. General fitness – Running, body circuits, core, etc.
2. Flexibility – Prospective athletes should be flexible enough to perform the stroke correctly and efficiently
3. Attitude and coachability
4. Overall rowing ability – Skill in the boat, on the ergometer and on land
5. Erg fitness and weight adjusted number – Examples of this might be a 2k, 5k or 6k, 30″, 5x 5′, 2x 20, 2x5k or 6k
6. Other articulated criteria related to the athlete’s potential competitive performance. 

If rowers have any questions, they should contact Coach Justin (jochal@rowpnra.org) or Coach Matt (mcarlsen@rowpnra.org).

Coach Justin

Good morning, Mercer Athletes and Families,

This is a reminder and a clarification of an earlier post.  The season has ended for Mercer Juniors.  The Junior athletes cannot use the Boathouse facilities (this includes the erg room and boats) until August 28, the start of the fall season.  Those Juniors who are camp counselors may use the Boathouse for counseling duties only.

Thank you for your understanding.

Coach Justin

Our first summer regatta begins this Friday! Below should be all the information you need to know for the Independence Day Regatta!

DROP OFF: All athletes should arrive 2 hours before their scheduled race time. Please drop your athlete off at the Mercer boat trailer, which will be parked in the lot adjacent to the St. Joseph University (Gillin) boathouse. Once an athlete arrives at the trailer on race day we require their undivided attention and focus. Parent presence around the trailer causes distraction for both coaches and athletes. We ask that all parents remain at the big blue Mercer tent toward the finish line farther down the course. After your athlete’s race is over and they have been dismissed by their coach they are allowed to be picked up.

PARKING: Be aware that parking is extremely limited and that the section of Kelly Drive along the racecourse (from above the boathouse to beyond the grandstand) will be closed to traffic during the regatta. IN ORDER TO PARK AT THE COURSE, YOU MUST PRINT THIS PARKING PASS AND DISPLAY IT IN YOUR WINDSHIELD.

UNIFORM: All athletes are asked to arrive wearing the Mercer unisuit. If your athlete doesn’t have unisuit they should ask their coach for a Mercer T-Shirt.

If your LAST NAME begins with N-Z, please send a box of Clif bars or a few servings of fruit (bag of apples, bunch of bananas) to share with the team.

PLEASE NOTE: Because the athletes have varying race schedules and times that they need to be at the course, they should each bring whatever food (including lunch) they would like for the day.

Mercer Banquet 2017

Hello,

US Rowing has released its tentative schedule for Regionals this weekend. The link to the schedule is below. Please be advised that the goal is to complete both the Time Trials (TT) AND the Finals on Saturday. However, the initial priority is to complete the TT Saturday. If the weather in the afternoon permits, US Rowing will run the Finals. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, US Rowing will move the Finals to Sunday. If the Finals are indeed rescheduled to Sunday, USRowing will prioritize Nationals Qualifying events. If the Finals need to be canceled, all Nationals Qualifying boats will be selected based off TT results. Please note that every effort will be made to hold all Finals in all events, but that there is a priority to finalize the Youth Nationals boats from this region.

Lightweight athletes and coxswains need to weigh in 2 hours before their race. You will not be able to weigh in before that 2 hour mark, or less than an hour before your race time. Please be on time!

The events Mercer will be competing in are listed below with updated times. The link below is the entire schedule including Saturday Finals. If the Finals are moved to Sunday we will update you Saturday night.

One last note:  a huge shout out to our fabulous food tent ladies, Tamara and Mary Agnes. They have planned for food on the Caspersen side during the Regatta. However, it is always wise to have your athletes pack food, snacks, and water bottles as well – with a long day of races, we want to make sure everyone comes prepared.

PNRA/Mercer Parents,

Due to the strong possibility of this weekend’s severe weather the regatta organizing committee has decided to defer to our Adverse Weather Plan.

What this means: 

• USRowing will race all 34 events using the time trials system beginning at 8:00am on Saturday morning
• Weather permitting, we will progress the races with more than one round
• If we are unable to finish a round, the time trial will determine the order of finish for that event.
• The weather forecast does not appear to allow us to delay the regatta.
• By using the time trial system we will begin racing most events earlier than originally announced.

An updated schedule is being worked on and will be released Friday morning. 

Important Information about the Inclement Weather Information:

Communication Plan if schedule changes are necessary due to weather:

                  –  Posted on the results board located at the regatta site

                  –  Online via Twitter, Facebook, RegattaCentral, and the USRowing web site

                  –  Via text message. Coaches, athletes, and parents can register to receive weather related text
messages by texting “USRowing” to 313131.

Crews are responsible for staying updated on any announced schedule changes.
Please direct any questions about schedule changes to USRowing at the registration area. Schedule changes will be made using the following priority system:

1. Delay racing either later the same day or to the next day, if time is available.
   
2. Begin racing earlier than previously announced. Announcement will be made no later than 3 hours
   before racing or 9:00 PM the evening before in the case of morning racing.
   
3. Utilize a time-trial system for a round of the event.
   
4. Omit a round of the event. The composition of the next round will be determined on the basis of the
   results of those rounds that have been completed. If Grand Finals must be omitted, medals and Youth National Championship bids will be awarded based on the results of the last completed round of the event.
   
5. Cancel some or all non-Youth National Championship qualification events. Cancellation priority will be:
   1. Non-Youth National Championship qualification events that have completed at least one round of racing.
      
   2. Non-Youth National Championship qualification events that have not completed at least one round of racing.
      
6. Cancel regatta.
   

Under no circumstances will races be rescheduled for a date later than May 14, 2017.
