The men’s pair of Parker Washburn (Andover, Massachusetts) and Andrew Reed (Wayland, Massachusetts) kick of the Green Racing Project rowers this year with Monday’s time trials at the National Selection Regatta I in Chula Vista, California. This is the first time the pair will be going down the course since August’s Senior Trials II, where they placed third.

From Great Hosmer Pond to Canal 54 in Fellsmere, Florida to Newport Beach in California, Washburn and Reed have focused their training on this first race of the year. The winner of NSR I earns a spot at racing the men’s pair for the United States at World Cup II. If this crew places top four at World Cup II they will earn a spot on the United States Olympic Team to compete in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil later this summer.

Washburn and Reed will be racing 15 other crews. They will be competing throughout the week, with finals on Thursday. Keep track of their results on USRowing.org.
