\t\t\t\tThe Bowdoin Navy opened the fall racing season with an impressive showing at the Textile River Regatta<\/strong> on Oct. 2.\u00a0 We had nine crews and a sculler entered in six events and took medals in five of them!\u00a0 James Henry ’13 opened the run with a win in the Men’s Rec single, a boat he had only rowed for a couple of weeks. The Novice Women finished 2nd and 5th; the Varsity Men were 2nd and 11th; the Varsity Women took 3rd and 4th, and the Men’s Club 2x got a 3rd!\u00a0 The Novice Men were 4th and 7th, just out of the bling.<\/p>\n

The regatta came a week after a wonderful gathering of over 100 alumni, parents and rowers celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the Restoration of Rowing at Bowdoin.<\/strong> Rowing was the first intercollegiate sport at Bowdoin, going back to 1858, and was active and successful into the 1890’s. Phin Sprague ’50, Coach Bill Brown, and Bill Harding\u00a0 introduced rowing again in 1986.\u00a0 Folks traveled from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, DC and even Switzerland to mark the re-introduction by dedicating a new hull to honor Coach Brown, row over the New Meadows, and feast on the friendships and accomplishments of the last 25 years.<\/p>\n
