\t\t\t\tAt the New England Rowing Championships on May 4th at historic Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, MA, the Bowdoin Navy dominated the six events for four oared crews by winning four of the events and finishing third and fourth in the other two races. The team finished 7th out of 32 schools in total points without competing in any of the events for eights.<\/p>\n

In the Varsity Women\u2019s Four, coxswain Bonnie Cao \u201813
\nbrought her boat across the line 15 seconds ahead of 2nd place Connecticut College for the biggest win of the day. Mary Bryan Barksdale \u201815 stroked the crew of Catherine Yochum \u201815, Courtney Payne \u201815 and Samantha Burns \u201813.<\/p>\n

The Men\u2019s Varsity Four was the closest race of the regatta, with Bowdoin\u2019s crew edging out a hard driving boat from Wentworth Institute of Technology by .079! Coxswain Jen Helble \u201814 drove stroke Cal Brooks \u201815, Tucker Colvin \u201813, Mark Endrizzi \u201815, and Chris Breen \u201815 to a length\u2019s lead at 1500 meters and hung on just enough as the WIT boat surged in the last 150 meters to close the gap.<\/p>\n

The W2V staged a similar assault on Connecticut College who looked uncatchable at 1500 m. But coxswain Sophie Berube \u201816 and stroke Nora Hefner \u201816 lit a fire under Amy Spens \u201815, Amanda Maisel \u201815, and Emily Weinberger \u201815 for a dramatic come back to beat Conn by .79.<\/p>\n

Head Coxswain Julia MacDonald \u201813 pushed her crew of Nathan Post \u201815, Ben Geyman \u201816, Jack Wostrel \u201815 and Brock Cassidy \u201815 as hard as she could to claim 4th in the M2V in a close finish that saw 2nd, 3rd and 4th within 3 seconds of one another.<\/p>\n

The Novice Women snuck past a very sturdy Amherst crew to take the gold in the last 500 meters. Coxswain Claire Velez \u201816 drove for stroke Mary Frances Harris \u201816, Bailey Moritz \u201816, Erica Hummel \u201816, and Lila Wright \u201816.<\/p>\n

The Novice Men gave one of the most dramatic performances of the day. Coxswain Claire Schollaert \u201816 had her men moving even with first place Bates in the last 300 meters when a boat stopping crab put the Bowdoin crew in the back of the pack. Schollaert rallied stroke Trevor McDonald \u201815, Evan Eklund \u201816, Evan Bulman \u201816 and Martin Shott \u201816 to a heart pounding recovery to claim the bronze.<\/p>\n

These six crews put on a dominating display of depth and determination that won them 7th place overall in spite of competing in only 6 of the 14 events in the regatta!<\/p>\n

Next week, 4 crews make the pilgrimage to Philadelphia for the 75th Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta where our top boats should be contenders for the medals.<\/p>\n
