During the first week of August, Temple Athletics hosted the Councilman Curtis Jones Rowing Camp at the East Park Canoe House on the Schuylkill River. After touring campus on July 31, the 30 campers from local elementary schools in Philadelphia’s District 4 went to the river for training led by Temple men’s crew and women’s rowing student-athletes and staff. The week culminated with the campers racing against boats from city council representatives and Temple staff. I want to thank Jessica Reo, women’s rowing coach Rebecca Grzybowski and her staff, men’s crew assistant coach Fergal Barry and staff, as well as George Kenney and Claire Ergood from Temple's Government Relations team for making this event such a success.
