(8-11-04) One of our most successful and rewarding seasons have just passed.Nationals were a success with outstanding performances from all of our rowers. A 1st place finish by our Men's Junior B Singlist, a 5th and 6th place finish by our Girls Junior B Singlist, a 4th place finish by the Girls Junior B Double and a sixth place finish by our Junior Quad. This is the first time a sculler from all of Florida has achieved a gold medal in a US National Championship and the first time Abc takes all of their rowers to the finals in atleast one event. With these performances it will be very difficult to top, but not impossible. Congratulations to all of our rowers and good luck next seasson.
