Regatta Report: Lake Stevens Spring Sprints

On a gorgeous Friday morning in early April, rowers came off the water from their morning

session and headed into the boathouse bays to derig 4xs, 2xs, and 1xs - soon to be trailered up to Lake Stevens for the Spring Sprints Regatta. With both the Pocock Youth Rowing team racing on Saturday and the PRC masters racing Sunday, it was a completely full trailer!

On Sunday, April 6, Pocock Rowing Club had 25 entries racing down the course, with competition from 20+ other teams in the PNW. Racing started off on flat and fast water, with the wind and rain picking up later in the afternoon. PRC rowers handled all conditions with grace, determination, and a dedication to row well regardless of what was happening outside their gunnels. Highlights of the day included 9 PRC golds, 12 silvers, an efficient full team trailer loading, and biscuit breakfast sandwiches for refueling in between races. Congrats to all Lake Stevens sprinters!
