All Four Squads Show Well at the Rock |
|
Rockford, IL-- All four squads of the Marquette Rowing Team left Rockford with a good feeling on Sunday. After spending the previous night in the home of Susie and Tony Murray (Marquette Alums), the team went on to show the work it had put into the previous week of practices against the top teams of the midwest, and the results certainly reflected that. The Novice Women's 4+ began the day on a powerful note, by raking in a bronze medal, beating out seven other boats and only falling to two UW-Madison boats. The Men's Novice 8+ held a respectable middle of the pack 15th place finish, while the Novice Men's 4+ also took home a bronze medal, only falling to the U of M's, Michigan and Minnesota. The Varsity Women also showed well, placing 11th out of 19 boats in the Varsity 4+, falling victim to 10 boats from Varsity programs UW-Madison and University of Dayton. The Varsity Men weren't about to be outshined either, as both the Lightweight 4+ and Openweight 4+ both gained respect. Lightweight 4+ came in 8th out of 15, only falling to the perennial powers of the University of Michigan, Purdue, and New Trier. The Openweight 4+A came in 14th out of 25 boats.

De Pere, WI- The day started and finished the same for Marquette Rowers, with hardware being won by different squads in numerous events. All in all, Marquette brought home hardware from seven events. In the first race of the day, the Novice Women's 4+ brought in a silver piece, with a time of 16:17, the Novice Women's 8+ also took home a silver later in the day. The Varsity Women weren't about to let the novice outshine them, as they pulled there way to a first place finish, with nine seconds over second place Lawrence University, along with ousting seven other boats. The men also realized that the pressure was on, as the Novice 4+ came home with a silver, as did the Varsity 8+, and the Varsity Lightweight 4+ brought in a bronze. In the end, the men and women joined forces in the Mixed 4+ and capped off the successful day by taking home another silver.

A diverse group, representing a number of class years, the boat came together in the weeks leading up to the race. Marquette Crew's coaching staff was well-represented with Zach Savage, Ryan Endries, John Modrzynski, and Jim Peters. Shawn Dellis flew out from Los Angeles to get in the boat for the first time since graduation. Rick Mehl and Jim Olson were past alumni boat participants at the 2010 Head of the Rock and couldn't wait to get back in the boat again to row for their alma mater. Jack Bolotin travelled all the way from downtown Milwaukee to pull his oar, and James Mauck came out of coxswain retirement to steer the boat to victory.

Ryan Endries: "This past weekend was awesome! Had a great time on the water and off. Can't wait for Rockford and as well as next year's River Challenge." James Mauck: "It was a fun day today.
