"We are very excited to see what comes next for these five young women, along with the rest of our strong 2016 senior class.

We wish them the best of luck as they head out across the country and compete collegiately," said Sarah Low, AJRA Executive Director.

AJRA is a nonprofit youth sports organization dedicated to teaching middle and high school students the Olympic sport of rowing. Now in its 28th year, AJRA is the largest and most successful youth rowing program in Georgia. More than 200 athletes from public and private schools throughout metro Atlanta rowed at AJRA for the 2015-16 fall and spring seasons, and some 200 campers attended Learn to Row programs at AJRA last summer.
