Rowing in ATL ... Indeed! We get the opportunity to hear from the Atlanta Junior Rowing Association Varsity Men's Rowing Team, Sandro Scalfi '23 (Stanford 2027) and current student-athlete at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville on the Women's Rowing team. Coxing the Vols, Lauren's experience in the 9th seat, is quite impressive, originally coxing for the Sarasota Crew Varsity Men her freshmen year of high school, and then moving to Atlanta with her family, where she found her next home at AJRA. Lauren also brought her coxing abilities to Pennsylvania where she coxed the infamous, Penn AC Gold, furthering her talents.
The 6'7" Stanford Men's Rowing commit, spent time this past summer training at the Chula Vista Training Center for the USRowing Junior National Team Selection Camp, making the CanAmMex boat, in hopes of making the Worlds boats next summer before he heads to Palo Alto, California. Scalfi, originally from New Jersey, where he rowed at Mountain Lakes Rowing Club (now Row New Jersey) also moved to Atlanta in high school like Lauren. Stay tuned for this epic "Bucket of Bliss"!
