2023 Spring Sprints

For this year's Spring Sprints regatta we had twenty-three clubs with over 500 rowers participating. Our new regatta director, Marc Gordon, thought of everything and the weekend was well run, organized, and went smoothly, based on feedback from the referees and other club members. The new timing system, CrewTimer, was a great addition and the developer was on hand to help us get started. The regatta was a great success!

The first day of the regatta was Saturday and the races were mostly youth. The Club doesn't currently have any youth rowers, so we didn't have any racers that day. The weather was overcast, but otherwise had good conditions for rowing.

Sunday's weather, on the other hand, started with rain, but cleared up and left us overcast skies and some wind in the afternoon. The Club had crews in twelve races and participants performed well.

Congratulations to all of the race participants. Thank you to the many people who worked tirelessly and often behind the scenes to make the regatta a success.

Green Lake Spring Regatta

The crew gathered in Green Lake early this morning to unload and rig the shells to get ready for the regatta. Thank you to Kevin who drove the trailer down to Green Lake and demonstrated his driving skills to exit the trailer parking lot, as well as to the non-competing Lake Stevens Rowing Club members who turned to support the Club.

Some of our racers were novice rowers, but there were no novice categories in the regatta. They had to compete with more experienced rowers instead. Some shared that the experience was helpful and provided perspective for the next regatta.

Congratulations to all of the racers regardless of how they placed and to Coach Barb whose knowledge and dedication brought Club to where we are today.

Those that placed from the Club were:

  • Jim and Bruce: 1st, men's double

  • Kaja, Michele, Bonnie, and Elizabeth: 1st, women's quad

  • Isabella, Meghan, Charisse, and Trish: 2nd, women's quad

  • Kaja and Elizabeth: 2nd, women's double

  • Daan, Bruce, Henry, and Jim: 3rd, men's quad

  • Kaja, Bruce, Meghan, and Jim: 1st, mixed quad

LSRC and Row for the Cure

LSRC has participated in the Row for the Cure regatta for many years. It’s not only a great row to get ready for head racing, it is a cause that means so much to many of us. In 2019, our club raised over $10,000 to support breast cancer awareness, early detection and research. By meeting the $10k goal. we received the 20th anniversary Pink Erg. We also took our survivor 8, Pink Panther boat to Gas Works Park for all survivors to sign. Go LSRC!!
