In the Men's Youth Double, Saugatuck's Max Gibson and Marco Grant placed ninth out of 40 boats. The winner was the Rhode Island Narragansett Boat Club.
In the Men's Youth Eight, Saugatuck's Greg Zales, Jake Esse, Jake Petterson, Chris Babinec, Duncan Campbell, John Morrison, Cameron Yates, Jeff Monahan and William Ritter placed 13th out of 75 boats. The winner was California's Marin Rowing Association.
