Isabella Fimbres and Meghan Schulz compete for invites to USA camps at Newport ID Camp

53 Girls competed at Newport AC in front of USRowing coaches

Izi Fimbres, her mom (Terry), Meghan Schulz and Jim drove down to Newport Aquatic center to join with 51 other girls to try to get an invite to a US Rowing camp this summer. Izi crushed the ten stroke "Watt" test and Meghan went 7:56.9 on her first 2K test. Both rowed well and made significant improvements while the coaches were watching! Meghan has five, yes five, more years of eligibility for the USA Junior rowing team and Izi has two years to try and make the USA team. Even though she graduates this spring she will still have one more year after her freshman year at University of Texas to compete for the USA. Invites go out in May, so we will have to wait and see where they end up. Well done girls! Way to represent the LLVRC!!!
