PNRA/Mercer is expecting great things in 2015! We know nothing is accomplished without hard work. In rowing, winter is the time to lay the foundation for a great spring and summer.
The Mercer Juniors are putting in the meters with their eyes on another national showing. Check out a MJRC winter workout in our new time lapse video! The US National Team athletes are in California preparing for Olympic qualification events this summer. PNRA staff and volunteers are planning the details of another season of top notch regattas on Mercer Lake.
Of course all of these efforts can only be successful with the involvement of the entire PNRA/Mercer team. Thank you for doing your part to support our programs and our hard working athletes in 2015!
PNRA is dedicated to providing a world class rowing facility and venue where people of all ages and skills levels, novice to elite, can grow and excel in the sport of rowing.
