Men's Comp Team 
Masters Nationals

The CRI Competitive Men's team just completed their sprint racing season at the Master's Nationals Championships in Sarasota, Florida.  The team was represented by 15 rowers and 2 coxswains, and led by head coach Matt Zatorski.  The regatta featured masters rowers from across the country competing together for national championships in more than 200 categories.  Our squad competed in 22 events and took home a gold, silver and bronze medal in the men's pairs, three silver and two bronze medals in the coxed fours, and another two bronze medals in the coxed mixed fours (rowing with teammates from the Comp Women's team).    The Men's team, with coaching from Matt and Jon Smith, now turns its attention to the head racing season, culminating with the Head of the Charles in October.
