B.J. Francis is just back from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and just raced on the USA team at the Junior World Championships. It was quite a coup for our Saint Louis Rowing Club. He went through a very vigorous selection process to make it! 
Team USA came in 5th in the world.

He is the one to watch this year. He is being heavily recruited by the Ivy's and other top tier schools.

With the US Olympic medal by the U.S. men's 4, raising awareness of the sport, and our historic spring season, we are anticipating a big turnout on recruiting days!

Let me know if you can make it!
