Juvenal began rowing when he was 19 years old and won his first race in 1893.[1] He won the Middle States regatta in Scranton, Pennsylvania rowing in an aluminum shell which was reportedly the first time this type of boat was used in competition.[2]

In 1900, he was part of the American boat from the Vesper Boat Club, which won the gold medal in the men's eight. Four years later, he won the silver medal in the single sculls.[3]

He won over 100 races between 1893 and 1906 including the 1902 National Association single sculls championship and six consecutive championships of the Schuykill Navy.[2]

He became a professional rowing coach in 1906 and worked with Malta Boat Club and Penn Barge Club.[2]

He worked at the Philadelphia Electric Company[4] for over 40 years.[2]

He died on September 1, 1942 and was interred at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.[5]
