  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend the 
South Jersey Rowing Club for their participation in the U.S. Rowing's 
Youth National Championships at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, 
Florida. The South Jersey Rowing Club is coached by Lindsay Meyer 
Clarke and her coaching staff. This regatta features more than 2,000 
rowers from all over the country racing for medals in up to 43 events.
  Lindsay Meyer Clarke is the Head Coach and an accomplished rower 
herself winning the women's single at the 2006 Youth National and won 
the first ever medal for an American single sculler at the junior world 
championships. The following year, Coach Lindsay Clarke won gold at the 
`Under 23' worlds in the women's 4x and in 2008 competed in the women's 
4x in the Beijing Olympic Games where her team earned 5th place. She 
was also a member of Stanford University's varsity 8 and won the 1 V 
and team national titles in 2009 and placed second as team in 2011.
  The teammates on the South Jersey Rowing Club come from surrounding 
towns including Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Haddon Heights, Haddon 
Township, Haddonfield, Marlton, Mt. Laurel, Pennsauken, Shamong, West 
Collinswood Heights, and Haverford, Pennsylvania are also included.
  The 22 young athletes along with coach Lindsay Meyer Clarke and her 
coaching staff departed on Tuesday, June 7th for the Youth Nationals 
and returned on Sunday, June 12th.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring the South Jersey 
Rowing Club and their 22 youth rowers and coaching staff on qualifying 
and competing for the United States Rowing's Youth National 
Championship.
