Jacob Plihal and Mark Couwenhoven competing.

Racing is all done for Tuesday’s Heats at Olympic Trials I. And we have some GRP boats headed straight to Thursday’s Semifinals, and some boats going to race tomorrow’s Repechages, in order to earn a spot in those semis. 

In the Women’s 1x, all GRP boats are headed to the reps tomorrow; Erin Boxberger, Jenifer Forbes, Emily Delleman, and Elizabeth Sonshine (racing for USTC-Princeton).

 For the Men’s 1x, John Graves and Lucas Bellows placed first in their heat, which means they qualify to go straight to Semifinals on Thursday, February 25. William Legenzowski and Kevin Meador (racing for Riverside) will be racing reps tomorrow to try to earn a spot in the Semifinals. 

Our Men’s 2x of Jacob Plihal and Mark Couwenhoven placed first in their heat, and qualified straight to Semifinals. Webster Thompson and Andrew Raitto will be racing reps tomorrow, along with GRP alums Thomas and Peter Graves (racing for Long Beach Juniors).
