From the Seattle Times 6/2/03:  The Seattle Times: Sports: UW women finish third; WWU second in Division II

From the Seattle P-I 6/2/03:  Huskies' crew dethroned

Here's the GoHuskies article:  UW Women Collect Third-Place Team Trophy at NCAA Regatta :: Huskies' varsity eight finishes fourth, second varsity places second - more information as it comes in...

Update 10:15 a.m. pdt:  Harvard has won the varsity event;  Washington has placed fourth.  Harvard wins the NCAA points trophy by virtue of that win.  Washington finishes third due to USC being a wild card eight (i.e. not competing in the team competition), Brown takes second.

Update 9:30 a.m. pdt:  The Husky JV's have won the silver in the 2nd Varsity event.  Brown finished first, with Cal winning the bronze, followed by Princeton and Harvard in a finish measured in feet.  Brown and Cal still lead the team standings as of right now - but keep in mind both schools will race in the varsity Petite's, while Harvard and Washington have entries in the Grand...

Update 8:15 a.m. pdt:  The varsity four has won the petite final, inching out Virginia to finish seventh overall in the event, while Harvard has placed sixth in the Grand (sixth overall).  Get out your calculators - looks like the team championship will come down to the final race of the day - see our Women's NCAA Points Calculator for an update on the team standings.

5/31/03

Update 12:00 p.m.:  The weather on the Eagle Creek Reservoir was miserable, described as "victory at sea" by our reporter Hess (expected to be better tomorrow).   The Huskies went into the semi's a little frustrated over the heat performances on Friday and laid down good races this morning.  The varsity finished second to Harvard but finished ahead of Pac-10 Champion Stanford.  Just by the fact there were nine teams within four seconds of each other in yesterday's heats meant some fast crews would not make the finals, and we found out today who that would be - both Cal and Brown did not make the varsity final.

All of this makes for a real toss-up tomorrow for the team championship.  Harvard has the inside track right now as the only school placing all three crews into the Grand finals, but only Washington has crews in the eights finals.  The varsity eight race is heavily weighted in the overall team championship, so that may very well be where it all plays out - the last race of the day.  See Women's NCAA Points Calculator for more information, and check in tomorrow for more from our reporter on the scene!

From GoHuskies:  Huskies' Top Two Crews Advance to Sunday's Grand Finals :: UW varsity and second varsity eights seek to defend NCAA titles.

Update 11:00 a.m.:   The JV's have won their semi, the varsity finished second, and the four finished third.  The JV's and Varsity advance to the final, with the four in the Petite.

Varsity Eight Grand Final race, scheduled for Sunday, June 1, 12:00 p.m. cdt;  lane 1 to lane 6 as follows:  USC, Washington, Michigan, Harvard, Virginia, Stanford.

Junior Varsity Eight Grand Final race, scheduled for Sunday, June 1, 11:15 a.m. cdt;  lane 1 to lane 6 as follows:  Harvard, Washington, Brown, Cal, Princeton, Ohio State.

Articles:  The Seattle Times: Sports: Washington saves its best for last

From the UW Daily 6/2/03:  Harvard Nips Varsity 8 at IRA

Update 1:00 p.m.:  We caught up with the guys on their way to the airport and got more of a description of the race:  The strategy was to get out hard and they did that, the race quickly turning into a two boat race after 500 meters.  The crews fought side by side through the next 500 but Harvard slipped it into another gear at 1200 and gradually moved out to a half length lead, extending it into the sprint.  "It was the best we rowed ever," said Marco Petrovic, six-oar.  "They are a better team.  But most of the race was very close, we were dead even with them, and it (the rowing pace) felt good."

Coxswain Ryan Marks added "We put a lot into the first 1000 meters.  Our goal was to go out hard.  It was a great race - we had open water on the field at 1000 meters, but Harvard had more."

It is on to Henley for the Huskies and at this point it is not clear whether Harvard will bring an eight to England.  The men will be back in Seattle before crossing the pond on the 23rd.  The guys are clearly excited for this trip and made it clear how appreciative they are of having the opportunity to go.  "We race for all of you," said Marks of the Washington rowing family, and the traditions built into the program over the years. "We are honored to be part of it."

Update 11:00 a.m. pdt:  We are waiting for the articles and pictures to come in from a remarkable day on the Cooper River!  We have heard from Coach Ernst, in which he said to all of the alums, friends and parents: 

"All the crews rowed their best races of the year today.  It would have been nice to knock off Harvard in the varsity,  but we just couldn't keep up the last 700 meters.  We led for about the first third of the race and through the thousand it was even with the field open water back.  The guys rowed to win and gave Harvard their best test this year.  The J's race was excellent....bow ball to bow ball with Harvard, Cornell, and Wisco for the entire two thousand meters.  Fred's frosh was a very close 4th and raced up to their potential.....well done Fred and his freshmen.  The Varsity four finished the day with a wire to wire victory.  Jeff Jorgensen won his third national championship....well done Jeff.  Thanks to everyone that has made this season so special!!!!  The Centennial banquet committee, Cruzin with the crews and the bar-b-q on class day.  The Stewards enclosure on Opening Day.  And all the special events.  All "first class"!!!!!

Thank you all,  "On To Henley",
Bob

Oregon State Dual Race

Here are some pictures of the racing Saturday morning, May 10th.

The Beavers showed strength in all of the men's races, coming from behind in the frosh race to take the Huskies by a half length and exacting revenge for the loss a week earlier on Opening Day.  The men's varsity race was a high stroking affair, the Huskies having more down the stretch to win by about eight seats.

The women's events were all Washington, but both schools looked impressive in the varsity event as they powered down the Cut.

Windermere Cup/Opening Day

We rounded out the Centennial weekend with a packed Steward's Enclosure and a stellar field put together by Windermere for the annual Windermere Cup races.

Particularly exciting races were the men's freshmen event, with the Huskies defeating a strong Oregon State team that beat Washington at San Diego one month ago.   The JV women also defeated a WSU crew that had prevailed over them earlier in the season.

Both the men's and women's varsities looked impressive, the women holding their own against a polished Belarus National Team, losing by about a half length, and the men's varsity cruising to a six second win over Northeastern to capture the Windermere Cup.   See the GoHuskies article Huskies Win 9 of their 10 Windermere Cup Races:  UW men, Belarus women & U.S. men win main events.

Likely the best race of the day came in the featured event, the men's elite national teams from the U.S. and Canada rowing a flawless race down the Cut, the U.S. prevailing by three-quarters of a length over the defending world champions.

California Dual Race

Here are the pictures (with descriptions of what we saw from the Montlake Bridge at about 350 m to go on 4/26 beginning at 9:00 a.m.).  Temperature upper 40's;  there was a solid southerly (direct 15 mph cross) wind through the body of the race turning to a straight headwind through the tunnel of the Cut:

 

The Cal women's varsity four with a decisive margin on the Huskies as the crews head under the Montlake Bridge.  Varsity Four -- 1, Cal 7:21.1. 2, UW "A" 7:28.8. 3, UW "B" 7:41.1.


UW "A" lineup -- cox: Dana Ryan, Lindsay Schwarz, Nicole Mazikowski,

Hilary Meu.
 

 

The men's varsity four with tough, evenly matched crews battling down the course.  Varsity Four -- 1, UW "A" 6:29.1. 2, Cal 6:31.5. 3, UW "B" 6:40.2.

 

 

The victorious Washington varsity four in the Cut with 250 meters left.  Left to right: Melissa Wengard (cox), Evan Galloway, Ben Fletcher, John Kenfield, Seth Berling.

 

UW "B" lineup -- cox: Stephen Hertzfeld, Gavin Grant, John Heylin, Nick
Hudson, Casey Clingan.

Cal lineup -- cox: Bracknell Baker, Deaglan McEachren, Paul O'Sullivan,
Marcel Staedter, Max Frasca.

 

The women's novice race, the Huskies rowing with about 400 meters to go.  Cal had already moved to a commanding lead at this point, cruising home with at least a length of open water.  Novice Eight -- 1, Cal 7:05.2. 2, UW 7:14.6.


UW lineup -- cox: Eva Anderson, Courtney Mitchell, Kim Matz, Katie Ball,  Allison DePalma, Marah Connole, Megan Kalmoe, Jessica Ahlering, Olivia

Cal lineup -- cox: Azieb Tesfai, Shawna Walchenback, Erin Reinhardt, Ashley
Smith, Megan Reitz, Sabine Zimmerman, Heidi Cole, Nathasha LaBelle, Kelly
Segars.
 

The men's freshmen race, with Cal hanging onto a three-quarter length lead.  The Huskies began to move from almost a length back at the entrance to the Cut, but the Bears prevailed at the end by about a half length. -- 1, Cal 6:13.5. 2, UW 6:15.1.


UW lineup -- cox: Adrian Andrews, Colin Phillips, Daniel Harm, Cooper Rooks, Brodie Buckland, Scott Schmidt, Adam Van Winkle, Craig Tyler, Tyler Smith.

Cal lineup -- cox: Adam Moss, Chris Rubini, Elliot Hovey, Colin Arnold,
David Puder, Vaclav Voshoska, Peter Maiden, Gary Champagne, David James.
 

 

The women's JV.  This race looked to be fairly close through the midpoint, although gauging it was tough due to the boats being separated laterally from the beginning.  Washington continued to push their lead into the finish:  Junior Varsity Eight -- 1, UW 6:50.2. 2, Cal 6:53.2.


UW lineup -- cox: Megan Mach, Sanda Hangan, Courtney Matson, Alina Tabacaru,
Amanda Jensen, Margaret Henry, Gemma Edward-Aron, Signe Johannes, Michael

The men's JV race at 400 meters to go.  Cal moved to an early lead and held it, but was over-stroking the Huskies significantly down the body of the course.  About 150 meters into the Cut the Huskies began to take the rate up and at this point were visibly moving back through the Bears, pushing into the lead with about 150 meters left in the race and winning by about a half length:  Junior Varsity Eight -- 1, UW 6:05.9. 2, Cal 6:07.8.

The women's varsity  was a ferocious race by both clubs - a classic dual down the entire length of the course.  Both teams still had good speed as they entered the sprint, with Washington beginning to pull away at the end.  A terrific collegiate boat race of two exceptional crews:  Varsity Eight -- 1, UW 6:41.9. 2, Cal 6:44.6.


 

With about 250 meters to go.

 

 

UW lineup -- cox: Anne Hessburg, Lauren Estevenin, Carrie Stasiak, Adrienne

Cal came to race in the men's varsity and laid it down from the start, gaining an early advantage and never looking back.  The Bears were powerful down the stretch;  here, with 300m to go, the crews are separated by about a length:  Varsity Eight -- 1, Cal 5:59.2. 2, UW 6:04.0.
