Hello parents and rowers!

I would just like to congratulate all of our rowers that competed this
weekend at New York State Championships. We had a great showing that
demonstrated how hard our athletes have been working. There were 5 boats to
make finals this weekend including: Girls Freshmen 8+, Boys Junior
8+, Girls Senior 4+, Girls Junior 4x and the Girls Lightweight 2x.

Another special congratulations two our Girls Freshmen 8+ for taking home
bronze, and our Girls Lightweight 2x for bringing home the Gold!

Placements this weekend have qualified the Girls Senior 4+, Girls Freshmen
8+ and Girls Lightweight 2x for SRAA Regatta, which is the Scholastic
National Championship Regatta. The Girls Lightweight 2x also qualified for
the USRowing Youth Invitational Regatta, which is the Club National
Championships Regatta.

Again a congratulations to all of our crews, it was a great weekend (except
for the mud) and all of our rowers represented Shen Crew very positively
with over 50% of our entries making finals!
