RCA's Junior Program is well underway and this weekends erg race is a very important step for many of the country's top juniors to complete their 2k or 6k ergs. On Monday, February 8th we are expecting a large submission to RCA's erg monitoring pRogram. With your help we hope to see a record number of juniors participating, including JR. A and JR. B athletes. We are expect great results from the top group of juniors in both age categories. The results for the 09' - 10' season appear to be stronger than those from last year.
The JNT will be running a camp for the top juniors in the country at Shawnigan Lake this coming March. We will use the following information to determine the invitees to the camp:
Erg Monitoring
Input from the IPCC about specific athletes
Results from NRC
Space is limited, but we will do our best to include the top athletes from the criteria listed above and who we feel have a chance to represent Canada in the near future. Should an athlete not be selected to camp we encourage everyone to attend the Junior Trials in Welland Ont. June 7th and 8th where they will have an opportunity to show their stuff and possibly earn a spot with the Canadian Junior Team. Provided the athletes demonstrate a good level, RCA is preparing and targeting to send an 8+ and a 4x for both the Jr. Men and Jr. Women to this year's Jr. World Rowing Championships. We need all of your support to help make this possible.
Please ensure your athletes are submitting to the RCA Erg Monitoring, and pass along your recommendations for any candidates for the camp to myself and John Ruscitti. Athletes must be age eligible to compete as juniors this summer. If you have any questions about the program please contact either John (ruscitti@rowingcanada.org) or myself (gmckay@rowingcanada.org)
Thanks everyone!
