Turkey Lake, Orlando Fl- The Gainesville Area Rowing Novice rowers came away with great results from the Novice Regatta on Saturday February 13, held annually to allow all new rowers across the state a chance to compete in their own 1 day regatta. 20 teams were in attendance with over 150 entries ranging from the 1x up to novice & freshman 8s.

On the women’s side, the ladies brought home a gold in the 2x, silver in the 1x, 4x and novice 4, and bronze in the novice 8 and 1x.

The men had a good showing as well, bringing home a silver in the freshman 4+, a Championship level event, and coming in a hard fought 4th in the novice 4+.

Also in attendance was GAR’s middle school sculling program, racing against the high schoolers in the men’s and women’s 1x and the men’s 2x. The middle schoolers also raced a mixed boy’s & girl’s 8+ against several other middle school programs.

The novices will see competition again on March 13 at the OARS Regatta back on Turkey Lake in Orlando.
