Spring of 2022, Rowers Choice launched the first ever Junior Rowing Rankings for Boys and Girls 8+s. The rankings spanned from March to June and included more than 20 boys and girls coaches from around the country. The rankings concluded at the Youth National Championship in Sarasota where our coaches correctly projected the top 6 girls finisher and five of six on the boys sides.

This year we are excited to expand the polling to include 10 more coaches bringing the polling committee to 30 coaches from around the country.

Rowers Choice has projected the initial rankings for the season and the coaches poll #1 will be released on March 15, 2023.
