The coaches, families and friends of Row New Jersey extend congratulations and best wishes to the Row New Jersey members of the Class of 2021.

Row New Jersey is a competitive club rowing program that brings together athletes from schools near and far including Morris, Somerset, Union, Essex, Passaic, Warren and Hunterdon counties. This year’s graduating class includes athletes from 8 different area high schools. Rowers from the program compete at the highest levels regionally and nationally. This year the club sent over 35 athletes to compete at nationals in Sarasota, Florida.

This year’s graduating class, composed of 20 athletes, is one of the largest and most impressive classes to have come through the program. Their hard work and dedication have helped elevate Row New Jersey on the regional and national level. After a difficult 2020 of lockdown and cancelled racing this senior class led Row New Jersey to its most successful season in history this spring. Both the boys and girls programs had their highest finishes at nationals ever.

Their accomplishments off the water are just as impressive, and this year’s graduating class will be attending some of the top colleges and universities in the fall.  Several members* of both the boys and girls teams will continue their rowing careers in college committing to D1 programs and college rowing clubs.  Row New Jersey is proud of all they have accomplished with us and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the future both on and off the water.

The 20 graduating seniors for Row New Jersey are:

• Maria Blandon (Mountain Lakes HS) will be attending Indiana University in the fall.
