For our competition team, spring is the championship season of rowing. Building off of the gains made during the previous semester, spring training and races culminate in the USRowing Central Youth Championship in Oklahoma City…and for those who qualify, the National Championship beyond that!
After winter break, the first several weeks of spring season are spent regrouping and vamping up our cardio base by training indoors at our partner gym, the Combative Sport Center, a basement property located at 116 S 4th St, downtown Manhattan.
Additionally, to counteract the unpredictable Kansas conditions, we also take the team on an optional spring break training camp in Waco, TX. Training in the south gives us some early water time while the weather back home is less favorable for rowing. Much of the extra cost of this trip can be fundraised at our annual Row For Humanity event.
Whether you can come on the spring break trip or not, athletes of all levels are welcome to join us for the season! Learn more about our two different commitment options on our Participation Levels page, and keep an eye out for the registration link closer to the time.
