What an unforgettable weekend for Belen Crew! At the 2026 Youth National Championships in Sarasota, FL, our student-athletes delivered a historic and inspiring performance that filled the entire Belen community with pride. Competing against 863 entries from 235 clubs, all seven Belen entries qualified for the A Finals, placing every boat among the top eight in the nation heading into their final races—a first in Belen Crew history! The team capped off an extraordinary weekend by bringing home one gold medal and one silver medal.

This incredible opportunity powerfully reflects the team’s achievements this year and the pride we share in seeing our rowers represent Belen among the best crews in the world. Their journey to Henley is not only a celebration of this season’s success but also a testament to the dedication, discipline, and brotherhood that have carried them to this historic moment.
