The Green Racing Project men’s pair of Parker Washburn (Andover, Massachusetts) and Andrew Reed (Wayland, Massachusetts) finished racing at the National Selection Regatta I on Thursday with second place in the B Final with a time of 6:54.2.

Throughout the week, Washburn and Reed raced the down course in Chula Vista, California against former national teamers and Olympians. The GRP pair missed the A final on Wednesday by about a boat length behind Vesper’s pair. In the B Final, the two Harvard University alums from Craftsbury, held second place throughout the race, holding off an aggressive sprint from former Olympian’s and twins Ross and Grant James.

After NSR’s Washburn and Reed accepted an invitation to take part in selection at the Princeton National Team Training Center. The “Craftsbury Green” will be back in action the week of April 19th in Sarasota, Florida for Olympic Trials I competing in the men’s quad, double, single and women’s double and single.
