America Rows Newburgh had 60 middle school rowers come to practice on a bitter cold Tuesday to participate in Relay Races on the ergometers.
"It's hard, but we had fun," said 11-year old Karla Gunera.
The coaches put the rowers through a broken 2K, followed by Calisthenics, followed by the Relay Races.
"We are learning water confidence on Mondays at the Pool and doing indoor rowing 2 days a week at the Boathouse," said Team Mom LoBiondo. "I'm supposed to be doing Open Row with the adults but I like working out with the Nora Cronin (middle school) girls. The coaches don't cut me any breaks, even though I'm 4 times as old as these girls!"
"This is a great program," said Programs Director Coach Kennedy, "This is exactly what a rowing program should be doing for the community."
