School News Roll Call And LBJC: Nick McCutcheon Rows To The Top
Published In The May 2011 Issue Of The Long Beach School News Roll Call And Written By Jack Nunn, Owner Of Roworx Indoor Rowing Classes At The Long Beach Rowing Association
Nick McC
utcheon does not look like the typical heavyweight rower, standing about 5 feet 11 inches and weighing in at about 185 pounds. But Nick can pull ahead of most rowers, due to his determination and desire to succeed. Nick started rowing in January of 2009 with Long Beach Junior Crew, coached by Jack Nunn. He experienced almost immediate success on the team. In the 2009–2010 season, Nick had one of the top junior Concept 2 Indoor Rowing Machine 2,000-meter test scores in the country, completing the event in just six minutes and 17 seconds, faster than the qualifying time for the US Junior National Team. The following year he served as team captain, and that summer Nick was one of the 40 US rowers to be invited to the Junior National Team Selection Camp.
Nick placed sixth at the Head of the Charles Regatta in the Junior Men’s Double Event and trained for a spot on the U23 National Team while also competing with his junior program in 2011. Nick was given multiple awards in rowing when he graduated Los Alamitos High School and is now training for a seat in the Freshman Eight at University of California, Berkeley. Nick doesn’t just stand out on the water. He is also a young man of character and an excellent student. A coach’s dream to have on the team and a teacher’s dream student in the classroom, Nick makes his 
dedication to excellence part of everything he does. Nick is the ultimate athlete, combining the best power-to-weight ratio along with a very focused and driven attitude. He also competed successfully in football, baseball, and wrestling at Los Alamitos High School. He treats everyone with the utmost respect and gives all of his efforts his full attention and focus. Nick understands that through hard work and persistence, his dream of becoming a great student-athlete can come true!
For the past couple of years Nick has taught multiple classes for Roworx Fitness as a part-time job while in high school, and he has brought knowledge of rowing and training regimens from world-class coaches to our members in Long Beach. His goal is to teach and give great fitness workouts to everyone, giving all of his effort to each and every workout with his class. We are grateful to have his expertise as part of our team!
During the 2012 Season, Nick Rowed With The Cal Berkeley Freshman Team And Placed 3rd In The Open Four At The IRA National Rowing Championships.
