Golden State Indoor Rowing Championships

THERE WAS SUNSHINE INSIDE DURING THE WETTEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR! All four Delta Sculling Center scullers that competed in last weekend’s indoor championships DAZZLED us with personal records (PRs) in their events. At the Golden State Indoor Championships, Valdez and Mario, representing DSC’s “Oarbusters,” DSC’s adaptive program, finished their 1K events in 3:34.3 and 4:25.5 respectively. Masters scullers Bob Lee and Andre Vanatta came in at 3:38.7 and 3:05.5. For Bob and Mario, it was their first time competing in an indoor rowing regatta, and Mario’s gold medal shone as brightly as his smile. The following day at the Peninsula Indoor Rowing Championships Valdez also bested his PR for a 2K race (his very first one), finishing with a silver medal time of 7:37.3. Doing two all-out rows on consecutive days was AMAZING! CONGRATS to all four competitors and the camaraderie at DSC behind their success!
