finally usrowing made a sensible decision by changing u23 trials to mid summer instead of right after ncaa/ira champs! more boats hit the standard with actual time to train in them so we‘ll see if this pays off at worlds…
thoughts on the new ruling and how it could affect the depth of field in future years? with roster caps and an increased number of fifth years I anticipate the transfer portal to become much more intense…
I’ve seen multiple athletes that are students in the US training with the Brookes squad over the last few weeks before Henley and was curious on how that works? I know they aren’t students at OBU so how do you get involved in training with their squad for just the summer? Are they composite crews or there as club members? I know some D1 athletes in the US who would love to be able to train with them in June and race at Henley in future years but have no idea how any of this works…
There are photos posted on Row2k but does anyone know where to find the nicer photos taken by the other photographers/videographers on the course? I know JRN, Katie Lane, and AB films all have a few on their Instagrams but are there any online folders or sites with more? I also saw Lake Lanier Park has been posting some things but I have no idea where they are sourcing them from. Would love any help!
It’s that time of year where US crews start thinking about going to HRR… No one knows that full list of which crews are going from the states until the Draw comes out, but I can’t help and wonder if we will see an increase in international crews this year. NCAA crews no longer have to wait every four years so teams with more funding may be able to go more often, creating a deeper field. What are the predictions of US Crews that will likely cross the pond to race this summer?
