Our Athletes

Discipline. Repetition. Trust. The faces behind every stroke at Lake Brantley.

One boathouse.
One team.

Recruit Speed

Built in the boathouse,
proven on the water.

Every rower at Lake Brantley earns their seat. Our athletes train year-round under banners earned by those who came before them — a quiet reminder of the standard.

Class of 2026

Four years.
One last spring.

Every senior gets a banner at the team tent on race day — a small tradition for athletes who gave the program four years of mornings, miles, and mile-pieces.

Team Culture

Pasta parties.
Family by season's end.

The night before a big regatta, a teammate's family opens their house, orders in for the whole team, and we eat together — pasta on the table, the next day's lineup on everyone's mind. By the time states come around, these are the people you go to war with.

The Parents

No parents.
No program.

Hot meals between heats. Tent setup at sunrise. Trailer crews, timers, photographers, and chaperones. Every regatta is run on the energy of LBRA parents — and we couldn't row a stroke without them.
