The Power of One

Congratulations Pete-O!

Powerhouse Timing results for the 2009 USRowing U23 & Jr World Championship Trials seem to indicate that former IC rower Pete Orlando is heading to the 2009 Under-23 World Rowing Championships!

Indeed, he just lit up my phone via text:
Going to u23 world championships!
Pete will be facing some of the best young competition on the planet in Racice, Czech Republic in the lightweight quad (4x).

A former commodore for Ithaca College, Pete only became a lightweight within the past year and a half after a lot of hard work and possible starvation. Clearly it was worth it.

Best of luck in this race and all the regattas to come.
