10/13/2011 – Blue Crews Open Well … off to the HOTC

Folks …

Both Blue Crew squads [Navy and Yale] opened the Fall rowing season with good performances and a number of victories. Off-season rowing also offers the opportunity for fundamental coaching and a time to test different combinations in multiple events and to integrate the former “freesh” into the varsity squads.

Navy Rowing With Successful Results at Navy Day Regatta

The Navy rowing teams won seven races last weekend in its first action of the season at the Navy Day Regatta in Philadelphia.
Navy won the men’s heavyweight collegiate 4 final, the men’s lightweight / heavyweight collegiate Frosh/novice 8+ final, the men’s heavyweight collegiate JV 8+ final, the men’s open/collegiate lightweight 8+ final, the men’s heavyweight collegiate Frosh/novice 4+ final, the men’s heavyweight open/collegiate 8+ final and the women’s open/collegiate 8+ final.

10/8/2011- Fall Racing Starts – 8 October; Blue Crews on US Squads

Folks …

After a long hiatus, it is high time to renew the Blue Blog. Perhaps it was the distraction of an additional dog, building a barn, or the funk overwhelming Red Sox Nation … lots of reasons — no excuses. The rowers are back in class and on the Severn and Housatonic … first Fall races for the Blue Crews will be this weekend:
Navy crews will travel to Philadelphia and the Schuylkill River for a 2.5 mile head race challenge in the Navy Day Regatta. Fittingly this event celebrates the 236th birthday of the US Navy [13 October 1775]. http://www.navydayregatta.com/
Yale crews will compete in the 17th Head of the Housatonic over a 2.7 mile course upstream of the Gilder Boat House on their home waters. http://www.headofthehousatonic.org/
Fall schedules for all Blue Crews – HW, LW and Women are included bottom below.

Yale LWs and Coach — EARC crew of the Year.

At the Sprints, Yale led with 750 meters remaining in the race before being passed by Harvard and Dartmouth.

5/14/11 – off to the SPRiNTS

Folks …

For some crews it has been two weeks for others, three, to practice, improve and fine tune for the beginning of the championship season.  With six across on Lake Quinsigamond and in Cherry Hill, the dynamics are far different from the racing season to date.  In some cases the morning qualifying heats can be full out bow to bow for 2,000 meters [remember the Yale HW 1V failing by inches to make the Grand Finals in 2010], while other crew can strategically pace for lane placement saving for the afternoon Grand Finals.

Now the Polls translate to seedings and have significant meaning in setting heats and lanes for preliminary competition.

EARC LW Men:

Yale — 1V [4], 2V [4], 1F [1], 3V [1], 2F [No Entry], 4V/2F[2]
Navy — 1V [5], 2V [5], 1F [7], 3V [3], 2F [1T], 4V [1]
EARC HW Men:
Navy — 1V [8], 2V [4], 1F [5], 3V [6], 2F [1T]
Yale — 1V [9], 2V [9], 1F [12], 3V [3]
EAWRC Women:
Yale — 1V [4], 2V [3], 3V [3], V4+[3]
