Congratulations to Grace MacLean ’20 for winning a silver medal at the US Rowing Youth National Championships on June 10 in Gold River, California.
Grace rows on the varsity women’s lightweight eight team for Oakland Strokes. At Nationals, the team, under pressure as the defending National champions, pushed the eventual winning crew from Greenwich Crew (Greenwich, CT) in the early portions of the race before holding off cross bay rivals Marin Rowing Association (Greenbrae, CA) for the silver medal. Their gutsy race earned praise from their coach Anita Sarrett, who noted, “We are so proud of our lightweight 8+, who competed today with impressive grit and tenacity!”
