QUOTABLE

"The team is looking forward to another trip to Lake Mercer in New Jersey to attend the 119th IRA National Championship Regatta. Our Varsity 8 and 2nd Varsity 8 will compete starting with heats and reps on Friday, semifinals on Saturday morning, followed by finals on Sunday morning. This is a great opportunity for us to line-up with the best collegiate teams in the country. The guys have put in a tremendous amount of effort and work to get to this point and now it all comes down to execution on race day.

We have seven seniors making the trip this year: JT Winston, Brendan Zhou, Seth Hanson, Griffin Eger, Reed Lower, Will Chesner, and Powell Clark. This group of seniors has played a huge part in our program's competitiveness and continue success over their years on the Mission campus. During their time at Santa Clara, our program has qualified for the IRA National Championship each year with the exception of the 2020 Championship which was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. We are incredibly proud of this class of seniors and thank them for their commitment to Santa Clara Rowing.

We also have a number of guys competing at their first IRA National Championship Regatta: JT Winston, James Lilly, Will Chesner, Corrado Moy, Nick Kostanecki, Sam Seter, Luke Shoenberger, Nick Love, Connor Menke, John Stephenson, Steffen Cuneo, David Cureton, and Parker Mead. All but two of them will be coming back next year and the experience of competing at the IRA Regatta will certainly benefit our team for the 2022-23 season."
