​Today, both the girls double and girls quad competed in the D Finals. In their race, the girls quad held the lead the entire way down the 2000 meter course but were eclipsed in the final stroke, missing first place by a mere 2 tenths of a second. A  phenomenal race. The girls double put in a very strong performance, fighting hard the entire way against their competitors. 

The men's youth quad was 3rd fastest boat in their time trial today at US Rowing Youth Nationals now underway in Sarasota, Florida. With this performance they advance directly to Saturday's semi-finals. The women's youth quad and women's youth double will row in the Friday reps to determine position for weekend races.
