Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Crew’s spectacular 2025 spring rowing season came to an impressive climax at the four-day 2024 US Rowing Youth National Championships in Sarasota, Florida. Racing on the 2,000-meter course at Nathan Benderson Park in hot and muggy conditions, Ridgewood’s 18 rowers joined a massive field of roughly 4,000 athletes from 230 clubs from across the country. In total, Ridgewood sent six of its eight boats through to the semifinals with three ultimately placing in the top 10 in the nation, including one bronze medal performance.
