February 26th is the Mercer Indoor Row for the Cure! This event will be held at the Peddie School and all proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Novice and Varsity are both expected to row at this event which will begin at 9 AM.

Many rowers are aware of the indoor rowing competition CRASH-B Sprints held in Boston every February. This year, CRASH-B will be held February 12th at the Agganis Arena at Boston University. For those interested in participating registration closes January 20th. This is not PNRA/Mercer sanctioned event but we will be sending Coach Matt and Coach Justin to support those rowers participating. Please inform your coaches if you will be competing.
