JUNIOR NATIONAL TEAM INFORMATIONWe use the Junior National Team as a building block for our program. We believe we have athletes that are capable of making this Team. We will train to obtain the times that are necessary. If the coaching staff believes that a rower is committed to working hard to obtain this goal we will make every effort to help them. Specific questions regarding the junior national team should be made to the head coach for each program, or to the USRowing Programs Director, Glenn Merry, at glenn@usrowing.org or 317-237-5666. Junior Women's Head Coach Steven C. Hargis P.O. Box 237 East Lyme, CT 06333 Phone: 860-961-6664 E-mail: shargis@snet.net
