Stotesbury Cup Regatta 2024

-

WOW for fast boats!! 181 schools, 4774 athletes and 936 boats from across the country. It was so impressive! Viv was stroke seat in a Junior 8+ boat that PR'ed (5 min, 29 seconds) but didn't advance to the semi-finals. Their category had the most boats competing and Woodson placed 20th out of 37. Viv was disappointed to not advance but she was so proud of their showing! 

Next up...Nationals in New Jersey next weekend. Only the Women's 1V and 2V boats are going, but Viv was selected as an alternate, so she'll get to experience it too.  

We are so, so proud of our girl!







Congratulations, young ladies!

I figured out how to give myself some grace. I allowed my body to rest and recover. Maybe it was by virtue of getting older...who knows. Whatever it was though, it felt good. I slowed down and I focused on what I needed, and if it was help that I needed, I asked for it.  That's progress, folks.  I couldn't have done any of that without two of the very best though. Matt and Viv were the
