Back-to-Back National Championships
For the second consecutive year, our Crew team won the Boys Lightweight Youth 8+ on June 11 in 6:00.19 during the USRowing Youth National Championships at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota.
“Winning the San Diego Classic [in April] was a measure of how strong the team was,” Coach Yunian Cabrera said. “The level of competition at nationals was great, and having two boys return from last year’s championship team, helped to lead our younger rowers.”
Congratulations to the coaches and athletes: Yunian Cabrera, Jonathan Menendez, Carlos Marin, Jorge Garcia-Sarraff, Daniel Giacosa, Santiago Ugas, Rodrigo Marin, Alejandro Pacios, Ivan Cabrera, Hunter Prindle and Rolando Gamon.
"I'm so proud of our boys,” continued Cabrera. “While last year’s win made the statement, 'we have arrived!' – I think this year’s win says, 'We’re here to stay! Their dedication to the sport and academics is a testament to their Jesuit education and to their drive to always strive to do more."

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
