Congratulations to Sam Warren, silver medal winner in the W1X at the 2009 USRowing Youth National Championship. Sam became the first river city rowing club member to compete at the Youth National Championship after qualifying with a gold medal performance at the Southwest Junior Championships.
Sam had been undefeated throughout the season leading up to the final. After winning the W2X time trial at the USRowing Jr World Championship Trials, Sam and her partner elected to compete in the W4X at the Junior World Championships in France this Summer.
