Former TC rower Mikias Elias has received the Collis Warner Family Foundation Scholarship. The $40,000 scholarship over four years will help Elias study mechanical engineering at the School of Engineering at Virginia Tech next fall.

In a press release  from the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria announcing  the scholarship, Elias, who rowed for two years with TC Crew, credited his time on the crew team with helping him push forward during difficult times during high school. The son of parents who immigrated from Ethiopia, he works part time, helps lead children's Bible study at his church during the school year and works construction in the summer. Congratulations, Mikias!

Huge congratulations to our three teams who medaled in the June 19 Virginia Scholastic Rowing Championship Regatta: Our Women's 2V and Men's 3V both came in third, while our Men's 4V (pictured here) won a gold medal. Congratulations to all of our rowers for a fantastic season. For full results, click here.

Huge congratulations to Braden Porterfield (center of photo), who broke the school record for 2000m on the erg yesterday.

The previous record was 6:10.0 set in 2014 by Noah Stewart. Porterfield shattered that with a time of 6:08.5, prompting Stewart to congratulate Porterfield, saying: "What a beast! Give him a huge congrats. He definitely deserves this!"

Porterfield, a graduating senior, will row for Northeastern next year. He has also been invited to the selection camp for the U.S. U19 World Championship Team in Chula Vista, Calif.

Congratulations, Braden!
