Utah Crew Wins Two Medals at Regionals and Qualifies Two Boats for Youth Nationals
May 6, 2024
Utah Crew competed this weekend at the 2024 USRowing Southwest Youth Championships, winning two medals and qualifying two boats for the 2024 Youth National Championships. Thirty-three teams from across the Southwest competed in the Southwest Championships held on Lake Natoma in Sacramento CA from May 3 through May 5. This was Utah Crew’s best showing ever at the regional championships, advancing all nine entries out of the preliminary round, winning two bronze medals and earning automatic qualification for two boats to the USRowing Youth National Championships.
Single sculler Cristobal Verdugo, an exchange student from Chile currently attending West High School, finished fourth in the time trial with 14 boats advancing to semifinals. He finished second in his semifinal and third in the final, winning a bronze medal with a time of 7:56.98, only 0.12 seconds out of second place. Cristobal also earned an automatic entry to Youth Nationals.
The Men’s Club Four with Coxswain of Edwin Lowsma (Park City HS), Stefan Neugebauer (West HS), Riley Cook (Farmington HS), Santiago Trias (East HS) and coxswain Ella Barrow (Highland HS) finished first in their time trial and third in the final. These bronze medals were the first medals won by Utah Crew at the USRowing Southwest Championships.
The Men’s Under 17 Quadruple Scull of Shaler Mahan (Rowland Hall), Tagg Perreca (Skyline HS), Frederick Neugebauer (West HS) and Kavi Agarwal (Judge Memorial) came third in their time trial. After severe weather caused cancellation of the majority of the Saturday semifinals, the Utah Crew quad rowed to a fourth place finish in the final, just out of the medals but earning a bid to Youth Nationals.
The 2024 USRowing Youth National Championships are being held at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota Florida June 6 through June 9.
Utah Crew is a non-profit rowing club supported through program tuition, grants and charitable donations from the community, and is the only youth rowing program in Utah.
