Everett Rowing Association’s Youth Qualify for Nationals in Florida

EVERETT, MAY 27: The Everett Rowing Association (ERA) announced its Youth Boys Team has secured two spots in the upcoming National Championship Regatta in Florida. They are the only team in the Pacific Northwest to have entered the Championship. 

With nearly 200 teams and over 700 entries expected, ERA will compete against the top youth rowing programs in the country, ERA said in a press release. 

The U.S. Rowing Youth National Championship Regatta will be held in Sarasota, Florida from Thursday, June 12 to Sunday, June 15. The event will gather hundreds of the nation’s best young athletes for a weekend of high-level racing, showcasing the strength, precision, and sportsmanship that rowing demands.

“The qualification of these two crews to the National Championships represents a milestone for our entire program. Their results at Regionals mean they will be racing in the two most competitive categories in the country,” Executive Director of ERA Jon Campaña said. “This is the most athletes we’ve sent to Nationals since 2017, and we’re proud to be the only team from the Pacific Northwest entered in these events. We are honored to represent our team, our community, and our region at this prestigious event.”

The Regional Championships drew 30 teams from across the Pacific Northwest. Eleven boys’ and girls’ crews placed in the top five in their respective events, with five crews earning podium finishes.

“The road to this moment has been paved with early mornings on the Snohomish River and months of focused, team-driven effort. ERA’s national-bound athletes exemplify the dedication, skill, and resilience that define the program and have helped cement its standing as one of the Pacific Northwest’s leading youth rowing organizations,” ERA said.
