Bonnie Venton Sets New Women's Record for 500 Meter Row

Bonnie Venton established a new woman's  record for the 500 meter row today with a crushing 1:56.4 performance!!! After a great warm up, and with cheering fundamentals classmates; Deana, Scott and Theresa (pictured above), a determined Bonnie set out to break the elusive 2:00 minute mark. With all the yelling and cheering from the fans and coach Gordon, Bonnie smashed through the barrier but did not realize how far under the 2 minute mark she was for a couple of seconds... Then her face lit up like fireworks! Nice Job Bonnie!
