 SHELTON, CONN.--(10/9/11)--The novice men made a strong showing in their first regatta at the Head of the Housatonic.
Starting in September as true “novice” rowers the men pushed through less than favorable conditions on the water while learning the basics of moving the shell. Feeding off each other’s commitment they progressed quickly coming into October. At the Housatonic the men had a strong first 1000 meters making an early pass on Fairfield U. through the first turn heading upstream.
Coxswain, Peter Driscoll maintained the crews focus through the body of the race and finished strong with a time of 17:59.7 – placing them 5th among competitive crews including Yale, Brown, and Williams.
Rowers in the Novice 8: Bow - Bryce Monaco, Nate Cajigas, Pat Sullivan, Nick Rogers, Ben McKeathen, Alex Kloo, Sean Murphy, and stroke Luke Carani |
