Special thanks to Erik Yoder, who worked tirelessly to get our program up to Saratoga in our very own trailer for the first time in history. In addition to driving our second bus, Rich MacDonald’s Chaperone support enabled the coaches to focus on race day prep. The Phelan Family provided a nourishing team dinner. Extra supplies were shipped to our accommodations by the DiNapoli Family, and many other families kept us well-fueled throughout the day. Thank you, Friends of SBS Rowing!
