\t\t\t\tAt\u00a0The 50th Head of the Charles<\/strong>, Bowdoin earned third place medals in the Men’s College Four and Women’s College Four, while the Men’s Second Boat zoomed to 13\/44 in the same event as the first boat.<\/p>\n

The fall rowing extravaganza capped a speedy season for the whole Navy. Opening at the\u00a0Textile River Regatta<\/strong>, Bowdoin’s men took 2, 5, 6, and 11 in a field of 25. The Novice Men were 3\/5 for the first medals of their Bowdoin careers. On the women’s side, we came 1st and 9th in a 24 boat event, while the Novice Women were 4,5, and 7. Nora Hefner<\/a> ’16 won the Women’s Club 1x.<\/p>\n

The next weekend at the\u00a0Quinsigamond Snake Regatta<\/strong>, the varsity men were 2, 5, and 8th and the novice men were 3rd. The varsity women were 1st and 8th, and the novice women finished 3, 4, and 5! After a solid start to the racing season, the crews were excited to finally head to Boston.<\/p>\n

The capstone of fall rowing, the Head of the Charles, attracts thousands of the best collegiate rowers in the country, as well as former and current National team members from over a dozen countries. The Collegiate Fours events included the usual powerhouse programs, but this year Bowdoin proved itself among them. In the men’s event, The Bears finished ahead of Michigan, UNC, Notre Dame, Penn State, Texas, and Georgia Tech to name a few.\u00a0 Likewise, the women topped Brock, Clemson, FIT, Georgia Tech, \u00a0and Purdue among others.\u00a0 Pretty good company for a small liberal arts college on the coast of Maine!<\/p>\n

The men’s boat which won third was coxed by Claire Velez\u00a0’16, stroked by Cal Brooks\u00a0’15 and powered up by Mark Endrizzi\u00a0’15, Nathan Post\u00a0’15, and Joe Lake\u00a0’15.\u00a0 In thirteenth place, Maddy Livingston ’16 coxed while Trevor McDonald\u00a0’15 stroked for Harris Fisher\u00a0’17, Phillip Maier\u00a0’18, and Arman Ashrafi\u00a0’17. In the women’s boat, Sophie Berube ’16 had the helm for stroke Mary Bryan Barksdale\u00a0’15, Emily Martin\u00a0’15, Courtney Payne\u00a0’15, and Liza Tarbell ’17.\u00a0 Both men’s and women’s boats have finished in the top ten since 2011, and each side has earned two medals at HOCR in those years, including a\u00a0gold by the women in 2012.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
