Potomac’s Gold Summer Highlights

It sure seemed like everyone was out on the racecourse last month!

We saw our independent club racers, Open Scullers, Men’s Sweep Team, and members of the Masters Rowing Program at starting lines from Cambridge, Mass. to Oakridge, Tenn.  And needless to say, some of them walked away with more than a tan!

Highlights are below, along with a link to a few PBC pics captured by SportGraphics at Club Nationals.

Stay tuned for the full report from the Cambridge Boat Club 100th Anniversary Regatta and results from next week’s Masters Nationals!

Diamond State Masters Regatta (July 26) - Noxontown Pond at St. Andrew’s School, Delaware

With fewer teammates at Diamond States this year, our Men’s Sweep Team still managed to bring the gold home to PBC!  Adding to our gold medal count was Club racer, Peter Pietra, who rowed to the number one slot in the Men’s Lightweight 1x.

Great job to all the guys, Marj Nelson and My Anh Nguyen!  It’s going to be tough when My Anh has to go back to Washington-Lee at the end of the summer, isn’t it?!

Road trip … MatNats in Camden!

With most folks headed down to the Carolina beaches this time of year, why not head up the road instead?  Next weekend, a short 2-3 hour drive north on 95 will land you smack dab in the middle of some hot race action in always-lovely … Camden, New Jersey!

From August 13-16, PBC’s Masters rowers will join almost 1800 others out on the Cooper River for Masters National Championships 2009.  We’re pretty confident our folks will be leading the pack in more than a few events, so go cheer them on!

To find out who will be wearing the white star, and in which of 200 events, visit the PBC Masters Nationals lineups page on Regatta Central here.

We even put together a little map for you and directions to the venue. We wouldn’t want you to end up in Philly.
