Mark Jelsing and Erik Farrar of the Lake Stevens Rowing Club won a silver medal in the junior men’s double sculls on Sunday at the 2004 USRowing Youth Invitational Regatta in Cincinnati.
Jelsing, from Lake Stevens, and Farrar, from Everett, covered the 2,000-meter course in 7 minutes, 7.62 seconds. They finished 5.49 seconds behind the winners, Otto Stegmaier and Demetrio Gagnon of the Quad City Rowing Association. Stegmaier and Gagnon were the defending champions in the event.
Jelsing and Farrar qualified for the youth invitational by placing first in the Northwest Regional Regatta held May 15-16 in Vancouver, Wash. That earned them a ticket to Cincinnati, where they faced off against other regional champions from around the nation.
Three boats from the Everett Rowing Association also competed in the regatta and all three placed among the top five. Everett’s junior men’s lightweight eight took third place, the junior women’s lightweight eight placed fourth and the junior men’s eight captured fifth place.
