To the Captains of the official boats and our Launch Drivers—braving the cold, wet conditions to keep everyone safe—you were total champions out there today! A huge thank you as well to our Dock Masters and Dock Hands for keeping launches and landings running smoothly in tough weather, and to everyone who manned the various land-based roles: without your time and dedication, this event simply could not happen.
A big thank you to Dennis Smith and all of our race officials from Atlantic County Rowing Association(ACRA) for keeping every heat fair, organized, and running right on schedule.
A special shoutout to Coach Stewart for effortlessly handling all the logistics for the race and keeping everything moving seamlessly behind the scenes. And to ALL our Coaches for all the time they give to training, regardless of the weather!
To our Athletes: thank you for leaving it all on the water. Your grit, competitive spirit, and sportsmanship despite the tough weather conditions were incredible to watch!
Finally, a huge shoutout to our sponsors:
All Season Marina for generously donating their property and facilities for the event, along with providing Mandy's Subs to keep everyone fueled up with a fantastic lunch!
