A combination of bad weather and river conditions in the Pittsburgh Area made for a disappointing start to the Spring 2022 season…until the weather finally allowed us to race!
Saturday and Sunday, May 14th & 15th, was the Midwest Scholastic Rowing Championships, hosted at Kent Lake in Kensington Metro Park, just outside Detroit, Michigan.
This regatta is a qualifier for both USRowing Youth Invitational Regatta and the Scholastic Rowing Association of America National Championships.
The lake had an eight lane fully buoyed 1500 meter course, with 54 Teams, representing 7 states competing.

As a result of earning the bronze medal in the Mens Jr Varsity 2X, Lan de Jong and John Marsh received a bid for US Rowing Youth Nationals in Camden, NJ! This is the first time for USC Rowing since 2017. We will be cheering for them as they race on May 27th, and are so excited for this wonderful accomplishment!
Great dedication and hard work from the team & coaches this winter paid off; This was one of the best Midwest Regatta results for USC Rowing!
