Nick Trojan of L
os Alamitos started rowing in 2006 at summer camp. In the first week, the camp hosted a small erg race on the Concept 2 Rowing Machine and Nick beat all of the young people who had been rowing all summer. Nick was hooked, and the coaches asked Nick to join the men’s novice Long Beach Junior Crew rowing team. In his first year, Nick was pretty rough on the water while learning the technique. By the time spring racing started, Nick finished the season with solid results. Coach Jack Nunn developed hard and effective workouts for Nick on the Concept 2 rowing machine, which Nunn had utilized while training for the Senior National Rowing Team. Thanks to Nunn’s training and the Long Beach Junior Crew Coaching Staff, Nick enjoyed his senior year in rowing. Nick and his lightweight double partner, Mark Reinis, qualified for US Nationals. The team raced in two events at the US Nationals: men’s lightweight four, where they won a silver medal, and the men’s lightweight double, where their performance earned a bronze medal. The team spent additional time training with Peter Graves (2012 Olympic Rower) in Cincinnati before going to the Junior World Trials and winning their events. Nick and Mark next competed in the World Championships, where they finished 16th in the final, an impressive result on the international racing stage. In college, Nick began a new training regimen, but his performance in Senior World Trials in 2011 was a disappointment, as he did not even make the finals. The following year, Nick entered the National Selection Regatta and finished fourth among all single scullers in the US and launched himself into the forefront of the some of the best rowers in the United States. Nick sought out a new partner for doubles competition. The team entered the National Selection Regatta II and finished third, a strong finish after only a few weeks of training together.
