Erg-O-Mania Challenge Fundraiser, October 10th.
This year CMU Crew will be teaming up with Habitat for Humanity in an effort to raise enough money to buy new boats as well as to help build homes for the less fortunate.
This year's Erg-O-Mania will be conducted in team's of 5. Teams will spend the next 4 weeks trying to raise funds for their team to reach a goal of 1000 per team with an overall goal of 17,000 for the entire CMU team.
The team will need a great deal of help in making this goal, if you wish to contribute, please contact bram@cmu.edu or view the brochure for information about how you can help.

The team returned from its last fall regatta Saturday night after a successful day on the Occoquan resevoir in Virginia. CMU had a massive contigent with 60 competing team members and support from alumni and parents. Both the Lightweight Men's and Women's boats medaled - completing a season in which the team returned from every race with hardware. Our novice team also competed in its second regatta fielding a men's and women's eight and a women's four. Congratulations to all of them!

Now the novice team will prepare for its final race (Car-Du-Pitt on 11/8) while the Varsity team gears up for winter training.

This weekend the team will be participating in our Rent-a-Rower Fundraiser. Each team member will be completing one or two shifts doing fall chores, cleaning or other tasks to raise money for new equipement. Click here if you would like to find out more or request a rower to do your work!

Team members have been busy wrapping up the semester with school work, but have also been having some fun with the team. Thursday night we had a holiday potluck and heard senior wills from three team members. Also in the past few weeks, we have spent a huge amount of time renovating our erg room (complete with 6 new Model Ds and 12 Model Cs) and our novices even spent a few nights on the cut with the fence painted.

Lastly, we had many team members compete in a biathlon (10k erg/10k run) Sunday with Central Catholic High School. More to come on that later.

On Sunday, the team displayed our hard work in a biathlon run by Central Catholic High School. After having our own practice biathlon before Thanksgiving, we were prepared and competed well even without the top two finishers from the practice event. On the men's side, Gary Feigenbaum placed second behind the Central Catholic coach with a time of 1:21:43 (10k erging/6 mile run). For the women, Audria Stubna won the event with a time of 1:26:50 (7.5k erging/6 mile run).
