Row your boat

All eyes will be on the water as athletes from around the world descend on Sarasota's Nathan Benderson Park for the 2017 World Rowing Championships starting Sept. 23.

But all ears will be on Sarasota attorney David Wyant.

The Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick attorney will be an announcer for the races, calling out up-to-the second news about athletes in the boats. Wyant, a self-described “sports nut,” tells Coffee Talk he'll be a “play-by-play and color guy” for races during the championships.
