Between July 6th and 9th, the US Rowing Summer Nationals took place on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, NJ. Volunteers of the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) helped at the events in the roles of hospitality, timers, finish line flag, boat weigh assistant, launch dock, athlete, etc.
Over 60 boat classes will be contested over the four-days of racing for the U23 and open age categories. Besides national titles, spots on the 2022 Senior National Team will be up for grabs in selected para and non-Olympic boat classes. Winners of those events will earn spots on the 2022 World Championships squad that will race in September in Racice, Czech Republic.
