In Seattle, Sofia Donnecke won the Jr Girls single by over 2 minutes (this is light years in rowing terms for a 5km race).  The boys coxed quad was third (with Will MacTavish, Marshel Glidden, Pascal Herold, Preston Ruygrok coxed by Kylie Redlin).  And the double was sixth in the open 2x, but was the 4th fastest Jr double (with Domenic Mazzoni and Jordan Muller).

Meanwhile, back on Elk Lake, the rowers once again put on a great display. All team members contributed towards the following titles:
