COVID Precautions: Unfortunately, Covid has not gone away. Over the past few weeks of qualification regattas, at several of our participating schools there have been significant upticks in Covid positivity affecting their ability to compete and leading to line up changes as well as the scratching of entries.

With the current trend in Covid transmission in mind, we are asking that you voluntarily follow the guidelines below when you are here at Mercer County Park for the IRA long weekend.

Please practice social distancing around the athletes, maintaining a 6ft distancing protocol and wearing masks in crowded areas such as food tents and boat trailers. Limit interactions among team members from different schools. In crowded areas such as team tents, in front of the jumbotron, and as well as other spectator gathering points, we ask you to stay masked except when eating.

The athlete staging area (boat park and trailers, docks, athlete-only tents) is closed to spectators at all times during the regatta. This includes practice days for training sessions. Limited food/supplies deliveries will be allowed for active drop-offs only with participants expected to meet parents on the fence line.

The fairness and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff, as well as keeping everyone attending healthy and safe is paramount for a successful championship. Thank you for helping us achieve this goal.
