Success at Regional Championships:
GMS qualifies seven out of nine entries for US Rowing National
Championships
June 1, 2008
GMS Junior Rowing team broke their
own record when they qualified seven boats last weekend at the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Championships held on Mercer Lake,
NJ. The rowers competed for coveted spots at the U.S. Rowing Junior
National Championships to be held in Cincinnati in June. The wet,
