The club competed in 9 events. Notably, the men’s open pair finished the Rathburn Cup race in second place with a total time 2k of 08:10.1. The men’s novice 8+ took third place in their event, while the novice 4+ team took 4th and 5th place in their race. The CMU women’s varsity 8+ took 5th place in their race, and the women’s novice 8+ took 2nd in their race. The women’s varsity open-weight 4+ took 5th place in their event, and the lightweight team took 3rd place. Finally, the novice women’s 4+ groups took 3rd and 4th in their event. The team also participated in the Jonathan Milikowsky Cup alongside the University of Rochester and Washington University, where they took 3rd place. This was the first water race for several of the novice rowers on the team, and the conditions included 10-15 mph cross the trail, with a strong chop, temperatures in the 30’s proved to be very chilly.

This milestone for the team gave them the opportunity and weather to get themselves some significant water time before racing back in the cold Pittsburgh area. The week was very technically targeted, and taught the team many skills needed to be fast on the water. The week focused on teamwork building opportunities, and each day consisted of three 2-hour practices, provided breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the remaining time was spent with sleep and team bonding. The team had a few informal races with other teams occupying the facility at the time; however no formal results were published. The weather was mild, if not a little chilly. Fog kept the team off the water on a few mornings, but the sun was out for most of the week, and gave the team good conditions to row. Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:46:01 +0800 http://www.tartancrew.org/news.php?newsid=128 The team hosted the 4th annual Valentine’s Day Heart Attack in the University Center on Saturday, February 9, 2008. The event was coordinated by varsity member, Judith Vogel and was a huge success for the members of the team. The teams participated in both individual and relay events, and overall, the CMU rowing club performed well, most individuals beating their race score from the Pittsburgh Indoor Sprints. The team has an optimistic outlook for spring training, and head and novice coaches Ben Althof and Georgia Bullen are excited to train the team over spring break and have them ready to race for the Murphy Cup Regatta.
