OCU Summer Update

Congratulations and good luck to our incoming athletes who are competing this weekend at USRowing Youth National Championships, including athletes from Oklahoma City Rowing/Chesapeake Junior Crew Clay Puckett, Blake Marley and Patrick Hylton all from the Oklahoma City region, as well as OPRF Rower Mike Pitts from Oak Park, IL. Read about Mike's journey to qualify for this event.

OCU Rower Drew McNichols began U23 camp yesterday at the OKC High Performance Training Center on the Oklahoma River.

Overseas in his home country of Latvia, OCU Rower Edgars Boitmanis raced in a 1x at the Latvian U23 trials and won all heats, coming in 4th in the final. He earned a seat in the 4x and will be racing at U23 world champs if Latvia sends this boat to the event. We'll keep you posted!
