LEE EN ESPAÑOL

Hello Row New York Friend,

March has come and gone, hopefully taking the last of the winter with it. Last month, our teams transitioned between indoor and on-water practices. At the beginning of the month, our three boathouses came together for the last winter 2k opportunity. The student-athletes aimed to beat their personal records and helped their teammates do the same. You can see photos from the scrimmage here.

A couple of weeks later, ten Row New York supporters (including board members, staff, and a student-athlete) ran for Row New York and raised over $13,000 for our programs — thank you!

As the weather improved, our crews rigged their boats, dusted off their oars, and got back on the water. Our seniors have continued receiving their college acceptances while our juniors completed their SAT prep course. Congratulations to the juniors who have already retaken the exam and improved their scores.

We hope to see you at our upcoming races!

College and Beyond

Student-athletes learn about the college admissions process and potential career paths. The Academics team hosts the Row’d Map to College every year to demystify the college admissions process. Our high schoolers and their parents attended workshops about financial aid, athletic recruitment, and more. After the college admissions workshops, parents got together to discuss racing this spring and to learn about the Parent Coach Association. The annual Young Men’s and Young Women’s Professional Dinners gather our student-athletes for insightful nights of storytelling and advice from professionals in a range of industries. The panelists have dinner with our student-athletes and answer questions about college, careers, and life.

Metropolitan Youth Speed Order 

The Metropolitan Youth Speed Order was the first regatta of the spring. This race gave our crews an early taste of the racing to come. The athletes will now refine their skills and racing strategy before Row for Autism on April 14th.
