Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend the South Jersey Rowing Club for their participation in the U.S. Rowing's Youth National Championships at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. The South Jersey Rowing Club is coached by Lindsay Meyer Clarke and her coaching staff. This regatta features more than 2,000 rowers from all over the country racing for medals in up to 43 events.
Lindsay Meyer Clarke is the Head Coach and an accomplished rower herself winning the women's single at the 2006 Youth National and won the first ever medal for an American single sculler at the junior world championships. The following year, Coach Lindsay Clarke won gold at the
`Under 23' worlds in the women's 4x and in 2008 competed in the women's 4x in the Beijing Olympic Games where her team earned 5th place. She was also a member of Stanford University's varsity 8 and won the 1 V and team national titles in 2009 and placed second as team in 2011.
The teammates on the South Jersey Rowing Club come from surrounding towns including Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Haddon Heights, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Marlton, Mt. Laurel, Pennsauken, Shamong, West Collinswood Heights, and Haverford, Pennsylvania are also included.
