The Troublemakers are a U19 raft racing team made up of Alex Tippett, Ethan Somer, Spencer Rodgers, and Bodhi Bockhorst. This group of young men have come together to form a team that will competing at the 2024 US National Rafting Championships on the Upper Clackamas River in Oregon May 17-19, 2024. AND have been selected to represent the USA in the IRF 2024 World Rafting Championships in Bosnia-Herzegovina May 28 - June 2 2024. Two back to back amazing national and international competitions.

Also known as "the other boys in the boat" these athletes demonstrate the passion, sportsmanship, and commitment to proudly represent the United States in international whitewater rafting competition. They are looking forward to an extensive competitive whitewater career together, and view this opportunity as a critical element to their long term development. Their motivation comes from the camaraderie of rafting and a love of wilderness and rivers, ingrained through a childhood of rafting and backpacking with their families, their classmates and campmates, and each other. They are our future engaged members of the whitewater and broader outdoor community.

The goal is to raise funds for entry fees, uniforms, transportation, housing, coaching, and equipment.

Please help us get this team to Oregon and Bosnia-Herzegovina 2024.
