North Allegheny Rowing Shows Resilience at Pittsburgh Sprints
by: Rowing Contributor
North Allegheny Rowing traveled to Moraine State Park on Saturday, April 26 to compete against nine other local scholastic teams. The Tigers had 28 entries scheduled throughout the day.
Racing kicked off with the Men’s JV 4x taking to the water, but shortly after the start, weather conditions deteriorated as high 
winds rolled across the course. After a brief pause to reassess conditions and prioritize safety, regatta organizers made the decision to shorten the original 1500-meter races into quick sprint exhibition pieces in a sheltered part of the lake in order to still provide valuable racing experience for the athletes.
One of the team’s key focuses this season has been learning to stay composed and control the controllable, even when faced with unpredictable circumstances. Saturday’s regatta was a clear example of that mindset in action. The Tigers stayed focused, adapted quickly, and made the most of the racing opportunities, showing the toughness and resilience they’ve been working hard to build.
Next up, North Allegheny heads to Milford, MI again to compete at the Midwest Scholastic Championships, where the team hopes to secure bids to the Scholastic National Championships. With two important weeks of preparation ahead, the Tigers are ready to dig deep, put in the work, and continue building momentum toward their goals.
