Nathan Benderson Park Hosts Youth Nationals

Racing started with time trials on Thursday, June 12 as over 4,000 youth rowers traveled to Nathan Benderson Park, in Sarasota, Fla. for the 2025 USRowing Youth National Championships.

Last year’s women’s youth eight national champion RowAmerica Rye won their time trial, more than 10 seconds ahead of Winter Park and CRI. Deerfield Academy won the men’s youth eight time trial by a third of second over Marin, with defending champion RowAmerica Rye third.

This year, the 30th anniversary of the event, is the largest yet, with 886 boats from 231 programs racing for titles in 38 events. Time trials are used to winnow fields down to A and B semifinals for the top 16 finishers. Slower boats advance directly to lower finals.
