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.
don't forget the other lightweight who did all those fun erg pieces up in the hill center weight room w/ me... aka YOU! thanks for the kind words chris
