Event: Women's Youth 4+
Result: 39th place. Requalified bid.
Notes: I was proud of how we raced, as we were an entirely u17 group racing up. We were able to have a strong race, requalifying our bid for next year! I was especially happy with my steering completing the course in just under 4600m despite it being my first time at Charles. I successfully pushed my crew to give this race their all, through motivational calls and urgency in my tone.
4:28 - Coming off of the Magazine Beach turn, I used specific tech cues like “explosive off the footplates”, “step”, and “legs first” to help my crew drop from a 2:18 to 2:08 and maintain it.
9:26 - I prepared my boat for the Weeks turn by reminding ports to keep handles up, then was able to execute the turn cleanly.
10:57 - We had a successful middle move that helped us drop splits and take distance on the boat in front of us.
Event: Women's U17 4+
Result: 1st place
Notes: This is our lineup for Head of the Charles, but we all happen to be U17, so we entered in the U17 4+ for this race.
9:18: Through the SLU turn, after calling the starboards on, I shifted the crew’s focus back to sequencing and being internal once I had my line.
12:08: I refocused the crew on mid-drive acceleration in the final quarter of the race, helping bring the split down from 2:13 to 2:05, our overall average.
Event: Women's U17 8+
Result: 2nd place
Notes: This was our secondary lineup after racing in the U17 4+ earlier in the morning.
9:20: I navigated the Southlake Union turn to port tightly around the red buoy, which I want to bring into the major turns of Charles as well.
10:25: I called a reset ratio shift when I could feel rush, where the rowers focused on the press and glide; the adjustment brought the split back down to sub-2:00.
Description: 2x5K, piece #2, Sep 11 2026
Boat: U19 4+
Notes: Overall, I felt good about my tone. I did a good job bringing my tone up for moves and affirming my rowers by getting more excited when they were doing what I wanted them to. I also did a better job giving my rowers a consistent flow of data and other information during the piece. Finally, I was proud of my motivational calls and felt that I was able to keep the energy up especially later into the piece when rowers were starting to get tired.
We had an effective move at the 1k mark (4:53) that helped us drop splits and gain acceleration through the back end. After coming off our move at the 2k, we did a good job of fighting for splits and holding the energy from the move (10:30).
I was proud of my turn around the red can for this piece -- I stayed tight while still being safe around the other boat, and I did a good job preparing my boat and telling them what I needed from them during the turn (13:14).
Coming into the later parts of our piece, I was able to keep my boat accountable about dropping splits through staying efficient and controlled, and reaffirmed them when they were able to do so (18:36).
In the future, I want to work on keeping my calls more concise -- seeing how I can express 15-20 word calls in 5-10 words. I also want to work on being more aggressive and responsive to boats beside us and using them to push my crew harder. As a boat, we noted that we want to work on our ratio, consistency, and efficiency through the drive on future pieces.
Event: Mens U23 8+ (1k) Final
Result: 4th place
Notes
I was really proud of how much more aggressive my tone had become since the beginning of camp.
Throughout the race, I used my tone, urgency, and margin calls to keep my boat focused, especially since a lot of my boat had raced multiple times before this event.
This was my first time doing a sprint race in an 8+. Looking ahead, I want to continue working on steering buoyed courses in 8+'s more efficiently.
Event: Mens U17 4+ Heat
Result: 2nd place
Notes
My boat had made significant progress from the beginning of camp, especially in terms of body position, catches, and moving together.
I was proud of how I prepared my crew before important moves, and brought the energy needed to keep everyone engaged in the middle move and sprint.
Note: Due to the high temperatures, my GoPro only started 500m in, so the first part is audio-only
Event: Womens U17 4+ Final C
Result: 3rd place (19th overall)
Notes
I was proud of my boat's ability to rally and fight for our 3rd place finish, especially after beginning the race down on the other boats
We focused on bringing more power into our base and had a particularly strong middle move that allowed us to gain on the boat in lane 7
My tone and motivation calls improved from the time trial and I made this race more personal to my boat, which was what they needed to continue fighting and move up to 3rd
Note: My GoPro fell off in the last 500m, hence the muffled sound at the end and switching to video from the livestream overlayed with my audio. My boat is Bow 5, 3rd lane from shore.
Event: Womens U17 4+ Time Trials
Result: 19th overall
Notes
My boat had a very technically strong race and it was some of our best and most efficient rowing as a lineup all season
I was proud of using specific tech calls to help execute the race plan and keep my boat focused
An area that I wanted to focus on is bringing more aggression and urgency to my tone to get that extra push from my rowers in the final
Event: Womens U17 4+ Final A
Result: 4th place (Nationals qualifying)
Notes
I was proud that our boat executed a strong race and qualified for Nationals! Especially so as this was the first time our boat was racing together due to canceled events.
The lack of practice showed in a weak start where we struggled with timing. Being behind right away threw the boat off but I helped the team regain composure and maintain strength through the rest of the race.
My tone shifts were effective and I successfully called more moves on the fly to adjust the race plan in real-time.
Heading into Nationals, I'm working on focusing our boat on an internal tech goal when next to another crew and improving my steering to better handle cross-winds and minimize course corrections.
Event: Womens U17 4+ Time Trials
Result: 2nd place (A Finals qualifying)
Notes
This was our first 2K as a boat due to prior event cancellations. Leading up, we were struggling to row together and find balance in the limited practic time. Under those circumstances, I was happy with a strong race and qualifying for the A final!
Without other boats to push off in a time trial, I focused on internal motivation with tech goals. The strong head-wind affected our splits but I was especially happy with our sprint and dropping splits.
There was some confusion in the middle of the race as my boat wasn't on the same page on how meters worked for the time trial (1900m vs 2k). I will be working on building more trust and carry the momentum into our finals.
Event: Girls U17 8+
Result: 4th place
Notes
7:00 - 10:00: We gained a lot of energy going through the Montlake Cut, as external motivation really helped our crew get fired up.
11:00 - 12:00: Our middle move was particularly effective -- we used a power 10 for quick + sharp catches to recommit and hit the halfway mark hard, and then a focus 10 for posture around the catch to recenter + stay focused. This helped our boat pick up more speed and keep the press up for the next half of the race.
Description: 5x5', piece #5, Jan 30 2026
Boat: U17 4+
Notes:
During this practice, our boat was able to improve on our rhythm and power every piece, with the work we did culminating in our last one, which felt the strongest and most clean.
I was proud of how I used my tone and name calls to motivate my rowers, and I felt like I was able to effectively call a build in press in the last minute without spiking the rate.
Description: 3x1500m, piece #2, Jan 23 2026
Boat: U17 4+
Notes:
This was a lineup we had not practiced before, so we got off to a rocky start during the first piece. However, we practiced quarter and half slide rowing to clean up our catch timing and it helped us a lot.
During this piece, we were a lot more consistent and rowed better together, and we carried the speed we gained into the last piece. I was proud of how I was able to motivate my rowers to walk on the u19 boat next to us despite starting down on them.
