Pocock

 

Hello Pocock Parents!

 

Well, first off, I was wrong about the weather at Brentwood.  What a delightful surprise to have that much sunshine up there!  I hope that everyone had a wonderful time watching the races, meeting other parents and relaxing in such beautiful surroundings.

 

Great news – the Pocock team placed fifth out of forty teams in the team competition.  This is the highest that we have ever placed in the standings and is really a testament to the hard work of our junior rowers and coaches and all of the support that they receive from our great group of parents.  Within this outstanding result, there are many individual and group/boat achievements to be proud of.  Please go to the Pocock blog  http://www.pocockcenter.blogspot.com/

to see the individual  race results and Matt’s pictures of the weekend.  Thank you to Matt for taking such beautiful pictures!

 

We want to thank everyone who was involved and helped to make this a successful event.  I would like to single out a few people who worked tirelessly at organizing “Camp Pocock North.”   

 

*Thank you to Sandy Ellenbogen, our food tent and nutrition coordinator for all of that coordination, planning, corralling, strenuous physical labor etc that it took to feed over 100 people for three days! 

 

*Thank you to Kathleen Brown for overseeing the event and always looking for the best way to do things that will make the most people happy.

 

*Thank you to Casey White, Randi Niemer, Paul Sorenson and Rebecca Brocard for chaperoning our dear rowers and getting them safely from one place to another.

 

*Thank you to Bernie Paul for his extraordinary efforts at getting Camp Pocock North sited in the great spot that it was in (next to the water!!)and setting it all up.

 

We will be gearing up for our last big regatta this year at The NW Junior Regionals.  This is going to take place May 19-22 in Vancouver Washington.  I will send out more planning information shortly but please mark your calendars and plan to join us at this great event!

 

One final note– if rowers are missing items, we took home 3 bins of “lost and found” items.  They will be at the boathouse today and rowers should claim their lost items as soon as possible.

 

Thank you.  Please respond if you have any questions or comments about Brentwood.

 

GO POCOCK!
