USRowing is pleased to announce the referees selected to serve on the juries of the association's five 2015 championship regattas.
To be selected to officiate a national championship, a referee must demonstrate his or her ability to both interpret and apply the USRowing Rules of Rowing in a consistent manner, while assuring that the field of play is both safe and fair.
Each of the selected referees was first peer-reviewed by referee clinicians, and then nominated by one of the six regional coordinators. Final jury selection was based on the evaluation of the six regional coordinators, followed by the review and approval of the USRowing Referee Committee.
"The distinction of being selected to officiate on a national championship jury is a recognition of outstanding performance and achievement as a USRowing referee," said John Wik, USRowing Director of Referee Programs.
"The selection process begins with an evaluation of the referee by regional clinicians. Selected individuals from each region are nominated to the Referee Committee by the regional coordinators. The Referee Committee sends the names of the selected officials on to the USRowing Board of Directors for final approval," Wik said.
"Officials selected for a USRowing championship event are drawn from the best referees in the country. USRowing congratulates each of the selected individuals for their outstanding performance."
