April 26-27, 2025, SARASOTA, FL. Unfortunately this photo cuts off our brilliant stroke, Brooke. She has really brought it this year and will be an amazing team captain next year. Thank you, Brooke!!

What a ride. Our girls were strong and smooth and took a commanding second in this race. They rightfully carry zero shame in finishing behind THE Winter Park Varsity 8, a program that travels to compete in the Henley and that has earned gold at scholastic nationals for the last three years in a row. Being on the water with this boat makes us better, and we are so proud of our friends who rowed it.

The OARS girls were thrilled with this finish. It is the first time they've placed as high as second since 2021. They are ready for regionals at Lake Lanier. Go OARS! Watch these girls beat the rest of the pack right here:
