The ARC juniors started the spring race season at Erg Rodeo on February 5, 2011. The annual event, hosted on the University of Texas campus, draws over a hundred youth rowers competing on rowing machines for a 2,000 meter distance.

The novice rowers start off first with Michael Ragan finishing 5th in the lightweight novice boys race and Abby Colety winning the lightweight girls. ARC would sweep the awards in the lightweight novice women's race finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

On the openweight side Ben White finishes a strong 2nd place for novice boys and Victoria Bartell wins the novice women's race by over 30 seconds. She was followed by ARC teammates for 2nd and 3rd.

Next up the varsity rowers finished in the top three in all varsity events. Chris Duke finished 2nd in the lightweight varsity boys event and Lucy Ellis finished 3rd for the lightweight women. Final individual races included a 3rd place finish for Philip Johnson in the varsity junior men and Nicole Brandt a 2nd place for the varsity women.

The highlight of the competition was the team relay at the end of the day. Eight rowers raced 1,000 meters each and the coxswain 500 meters. Teammates Philip, Andrew, Chris, Ben, Caroline, Nicole, Hannah, Victoria, and coxswain Brian work together to win the team event.
