MAC Junior Rowing

They steer, they cheer, they keep us on track and on task; they carry tape, tools, water bottles and sometimes even snacks; they’re sassy and demanding and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Appreciating our cox’ns today!

Fall 2026 is underway!

1st in the B final equals 7th in the world for MAC alum Goose Faynsod and his Team USA boatmates at the U19 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Goose and Co. through down a gritty race to secure the best finish for the U.S. in that event since 2017. Way to represent, Goose! Go USA!

So proud of Goose Faynsod as he sets off to represent Team USA in the U19 Men’s Quad at the World Rowing Junior World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria this week! Go get ‘em, Goose!

Our rowers come from all around the LA area!
Every day, athletes from around the city make their way to the Marina after school gets out. Our practices have girls and boys grades 8-12 from a variety of backgrounds and past athletic experiences!

Somewhat belated update to the men’s side of the 2k board! Goose Faynsod jumped from 10th to 2nd during his final season at MAC and fellow outgoing senior Julian Kosinski leaves his mark by claiming the 9 spot. Good job, gentlemen!

An outstanding weekend for the MAC squad at USRowing Youth National Championships. The team put 7 of 7 boats in the A/B semis. 5 of those boats made the A finals, 3 of them medaled, and the women’s straight 4 won a most unexpected championship, starting the weekend seeded 25th and ending the weekend as gold medalists.

Goose Faynsod wrapped his legendary high school career with a capstone bronze medal in the men’s single. And our U16 girls quad snagged our third medal of the week by taking bronze as well.

Overall:
WY4- 🥇
YM1x -🥉
U16W4x+ -🥉
U16M4x+ - 4th
U17W4x - 6th
YW4x - 12th
U17W1x - 13th

So proud of all of our kids for their hard work, belief and composure under pressure and grateful to our amazing coaching staff for pouring their hearts and souls into this.

Truly a great day to be a MAC fan!
