FISA Masters and HOCR a Great Success
Yes, We do a lot of Coaching through the year but we also get out on the water to row! Coaches Jim Dietz, Mark Wilson, Ryan Worth, Jim Preston and Steve Dezwart all raced at the 2018 FISA World Masters and did great. Jim D., Steve and Mark all won medals and Jim P. and Ryan were in multiple boats with great finishes but just out of medal range this time. Highlight for Jim and Mark was a win in the F 2x.
At the Head of the Charles, Mark and Jim Dietz also combined with long time sculling friends Willie Castle and Chris Somers in a 4x. The group that got to practice only on the way to the starting line finished a solid 9th out of 36 boats and only 20 seconds from the medal position in 5th. “We are gunning for a medal in 2019!” says Bow seat Mark Wilson.

NEW for 2017 - Head of the Hooch Race Camp
All-American is proud to be offering a Race Prep camp in Chattanooga Tennessee on the Hooch course this September 8-10, 2017. We will be rowing out of the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga boathouse. Local coach and rower Ryan Worth will join Mark Wilson for the weekend of coaching and fun both on and off the water. Highlights will include: training on the course, getting a race summery from one of the race officials that handles the start/finish line, getting to practice the course and finish line area, see yourself rowing through video review and having the race tacticians help you figure out what the best lines are along the course. Go to the Registration Page for details and how to register.
All-American and Mark Wilson go Full Time!
