College teams flock to Lake Lanier for American Collegiate Rowing Association national championship
0522ACRA2
Members of the University of Texas’ rowing team train Thursday at the Lake Lanier Olympic Venue in Gainesville. Seventy teams from across the nation are expected to come for the American Collegiate Rowing Championship.
Gregg Hartsuff took out a screwdriver as he worked on a trophy in the bed of his truck, carefully putting the cup back together after disassembling it for the long drive down from Ann Arbor, Mich. It’s a labor of love for the University of Michigan men’s rowing coach, who has led his team to seven straight American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) national championships, including four since the tournament moved to Gainesville. Now, the challenge is making that eight straight this weekend against the largest field of competition in tournament history.
