An inside look at the nationally ranked St. Andrew Rowing Club

The St. Andrew Rowing Club in Roswell made history at the 2022 U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships in June after the team finished in the top 12. Hear from teammates and take an inside look at what it takes to be one of the best.

ATLANTA - Roswell youth rowers make history at national championships:

After a history-making performance at the 2022 USRowing Youth National Championships in June, Roswell’s St. Andrew Rowing Club is on course for a bright — and very fast — future!

St. Andrew Rowing Club was formed back in 1988 by Georgia Tech’s rowing program as a way to cultivate the next generation of competitive rowers in metro Atlanta. Club organizers say a perfect way to introduce new athletes to the sport and to set them on the path toward competition is through its summer camp programs, which are happening now and continue through July 22. Camps are led by the St. Andrew coaching staff and include Intro to Rowing (for sixth to twelfth graders new to the sport) and Advanced Intro to Rowing (a two-week camp aimed at youth who want to develop their skills following the Intro to Rowing camp).

Now, let’s talk about some big accomplishments! Club leaders say St. Andrew took top honors at this year’s 2022 USRowing Southeast Youth Championships, winning six gold medals and one bronze, the team points trophy, and the efficiency trophy. That led to the Youth National Championships in Sarasota last month, at which all of St. Andrew’s boats advanced through time trials to the finals, and all finished in the Top 12 (some as high as third in the nation!).

This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent some time on the Chattahoochee River with campus and members of the St. Andrew Rowing Club, learning more about the sport and celebrating the team’s achievements during the 2022 season.

'True Freedom' short film helps 'at-risk youth' to heal, have conversations about abandonment and more

Isaac Ingram, writer and director, is the founder of Team Freedom Outreach, a nonprofit organization of Christian men whose purpose is to positively impact juveniles in youth detention centers through mentoring and recreation programs. Ingram created the 'True Freedom' short film as a way for 'at-risk youth' to heal from abandonment issues and have conversations.

Issac Ingram talks about his short film "True Freedom": One of the biggest problems at-risk youth face are abandonment issues (especially by their fathers) that they don't talk about. Issac Ingram created a short film called "True Freedom" with the goal of distributing it to mentor/mentee programs to help engage conversation about abandonment issues so that at-risk youth can begin to heal. Ambassador Andrew Young plays the main character's mentor with a voiceover in the short film. Former NFL running back Warrick Dunn plays a counselor in the film as well.
