High Point, NC – Final selections have been made for USRowing’s Southeast Youth Championships to take place in Sarasota, Florida on May 14-15, the coaches have announced.
The two day championship event will consist of heats, semi finals and finals and the top three crews in each event at the regional championships will qualify for the national championships, which take place in Princeton, NJ in June. The southeast region is comprised of the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee.
Girls’ varsity coach Allie Davis has selected coxswain Morgan Epling, and rowers Victoria Goldin, Maddie Mulins, Junior Ognovich, Aliute Udoka, Emma Lloyd, Jaclyn Hronich, Olivia Corriere, and Shelby Reece to represent High Point in the Youth Eights event in Sarasota. High Point finished fourth at the event in 2015.
Boys’ coach Gene Kininmonth has selected Austin Young, Adam Alt, Kyle Koval, and Kevin Caps to represent High Point in the Youth Quad Sculls event. Kyle and Adam may also race in the Double Sculls event subject to the availability of a shell and performance at the upcoming Dogwood Regatta.
“High Point will be well represented by these rowers and coxswain in Sarasota,” says Kininmonth. “The philosophy of the club is to select crews to the Southeast Championships that we believe are capable of qualifying for the final on their best row. This is a strong squad that has proven in training and spring results that they are ready to achieve this standard.”
The event will take place at Nathan Benderson Park, 5851 Nathan Benderson Circle Sarasota, FL 34235.
