United States Coast Guard Academy - Department of Athletics

NEW LONDON, CONN.--(4/7/07)--The US Coast Guard Academy men's rowing team hosted their first home race of the season Saturday with improved performances under perfect conditions on the Thames.

The day started with the Bear's Varsity eight competing against NESCAC rival Trinity College (ranked #1 in New England) for the Emerson Cup, named for Fred Emerson of Old Lyme who was instrumental in the formation and funding of both of the programs. Off the line, Trinity pushed out to a two seat advantage and extended this in very workman-like fashion as the race progressed. The Bears maintained a stronger rhythm then they showed last weekend but were never able to gain any momentum and cut into the Trinity's lead. Both boats showed good closing speed and the Bantams won in time of 5:48.1 to CGA's 6:00.9 and retained the Emerson Cup for 2007. The Varsity 8 was comprised of Tenley Barna (Jr), Riley Matsco (Jr), Roy Cromer (So), Tomas Mameniskis (So), Dave Gilbert (Sr), Matt Vanderslice (Jr), Kyle Chavers (Sr), Tomas Naujokaitis (So), and Nick Iannarone (So).

WORCESTER, MASS.--(3/31/07)--The US Coast Guard Academy men's rowing team had a disappointing start to their 2007 season Saturday against DI Holy Cross and DIII rival Wesleyan University on Lake Quinsigamond.

Competing in perfect conditions the Bears men’s varsity 8 matched the early speed of Wesleyan and Holy Cross off the line and through the halfway mark in the race but was unable find the extra gear coming through the 1250 mark. Over the last 500 meters the Bears fell off the higher-rated pace finishing 3rd by 16 seconds to the winner Wesleyan in a time of 6:16.2. The Varsity 8 was comprised of Tenley Barna (Jr), Riley Matsco (Jr), Roy Cromer (So), Tomas Mameniskis (So), Nick Iannarone (So), Matt Vanderslice (Jr), Kyle Chavers (Sr), Tomas Naujokaitis (So), and Tom Weiland (Sr).

BOSTON, MASS.--(10/21/06)--The US Coast Guard Academy Men's and Women's Crews competed against the top DI, DII, DIII and club programs from all over the world at the 42nd Annual Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, MA.
