This is Robert DeYoung competing in the Men's Relay Event in the Motown Madness erg race held on February 4 at the Detroit Boat Club (MI). Although blind since childhood Robert has rowed for the Ann Arbor Rowing Club for the past 12 years. Robert (age 54) competes in sweep and sculling events, including the single and has even coxed once. He earns a number of medals every year and rowed 2 seat in the AARC Men's Senior 8 at the 2011 Head of the Charles Regatta. Robert is an inspiration to rowers not only in Ann Arbor but throughout the midwest.
