Proud papa pic. My daughter's high school men's 4+ boat (crew) took the Florida state championships. This weekend is the southeast regional champs. If they medal, they go to Nationals in Oak Ridge, TN. Unfortunately, it's the weekend of Gaston's. Oh, torn!!!

Is she the cox, the coach, a team supporter, a student at the same school?

It pains me to say this (well, sort of..) but National's may only happen once...maybe fly her there to meet in the middle?

She is the cox. The little dinky one second from the right. Currently being recruited by some very high profile collegiate programs, which makes Dad's checkbook happy.

It they win the Nationals, do they get to go to Henley?

Awesome, congrats. It's a neat sport.

Big deal. Give me a motor and I can beat those guys any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Seriously, congrats to your daughter, Ken, and congrats to your checkbook!

Way to go Ms. Ibold!

they did throw her in right??? Leah coxed the Iowa State club boats in college and really enjoyed it. Now she helps coach our local High School club team. They have regionals this weekend in OK City. And yes its a great sport for girls as there are lots of scholarships available.

Wow, she's definitely the right size for a coxswain. Sounds like she's pretty good at it too. Congrats to both of you.

THAT would be cool. I think she will be in Junior Nationals training during Henley, but I will have to start lobbying the coach. Somehow I'd scrape together the funds!!
