What a beautiful weekend in Saratoga Springs, New York and what a great end to the 2010 Spring Season of rowing at Loyola. ALL OF OUR LOYOLA ACADEMY BOATS that attended were national semifinalists in their respective events at the Scholastic Rowing Association National Championships!
The Freshman Boys went on to finish 4th in the nation and LA's JV4 rowers were the bronze medalists in their event! Congrats to all the rowers that represented Loyola at this event, and many, many thanks to all the parents, especially the parent chaperones, the coaches and administrators that worked to make this event possible for our rowers.
To view some photos from the championship weekend, click on the Albums tab above...many thanks to all who share pictures with LARA from the competitions but especially to David Goldenberg who has given us many regatta memories by taking photos of all our rowers over the years. THANK YOU, DAVID!
