Enjoy!

Row New York had the pleasure of having Melanie Onufrieff, the head coach of Columbia University's Women's Crew, visit the team on Wednesday. Melanie is a highly successful coach who came to Columbia after a great record coaching the Cornell women's program. She has also worked as an assistant coach with he U.S. Women's National Team. Needless to say, we were very excited to have her join us for an indoor rowing practice here. Thanks Melanie!

RNY SEES VENUS IN ACTION

Eight Row New York girls watched some of the world's greatest tennis players compete for the Billie Jean King Cup at Madison Square Garden, thanks to the generosity of the Women's Sports Foundation. The event featured a final that saw Venus Williams defeat Kim Clijsters in a riveting three set match. The tickets were awarded in recognition of a community service event performed by the girls in 2009, where RNY girls taught middle school students from the community how to row.
