AHA! Night 8/11 downtown was a huge success!

Well first off, thanks need to go out to Lee Heald for inviting us to participate in the AHA Night on Thursday. It was a great time and there were so many people milling about downtown! We brought out 3 ergs (rowing machines) and had lots of our adult and youth rowers on hand to either teach, or race any daring souls. We had quite a few takers and all but one of our t-shirts were won by challengers! We had quite a few youngsters like the ergs, but we did also have a WPI rower come out and take on our very own Walker Fuchs. I had my money on the tall, experienced, strong looking female WPI rower but Walker wasn't about to make it easy for her. She gave a good fight, pulled some good numbers, but Walker was victorious in the end! Congrats Walker!

We even had some parents of our athletes hop on to give it a try. In the photos below you'll see Bethany Mello and her mom Karen racing. We clearly need to get Karen on a team as she was the victorious athlete of the two lovely Mello girls!
