ITHACA COLLEGE2009 Outlook MEN’S CREW Astrong fall season with unprecedented achievement and an experienced roster should be positive signs to a successful spring for the Bombers. Ithaca returns 18 members of their top three boats (including the third varsity 8 that took home the heavyweight program’s first medal ever at the ECAC Championships). The fall season featured a gold-medal performance at the Head of the Genesee, marking Ithaca’s first win in 19 years at that event (formerly called the Bausch & Lomb and the Stonehurst Regatta). Highlights of the fall season also included gold medals by the varsity 8, second varsity 8 and novice 8 at the Braxton Regatta and a ninth-place finish (out of 38 crews) at the Head of the Charles. Commodores Pete Orlando and Tom Poole head a strong senior class that also includes Colin Clarry, Eriberto Rosales, Mike Warner, Clint Weigl and Hank Zimmerman. Juniors Nick Alvarez, Jon Covney, Dan Curtis, Brian Erickson, Chris Lisee, Kayleigh McElroy, Carlos Rosales, Eriberto Rosales and Neil Shapiro and sophomores Joe Bagliere, Shane Bucher, Morgan Ewing and Jon Thompson are all back from Ithaca’s varsity and second varsity 8s as well. Last year’s freshmen-novice 8 won a bronze medal at the state championships and took third in the petite final at the ECAC event. A challenging schedule includes opening with Hobart, Marist and the Cornell lightweights. The Bombers will also face Division I competition in Bucknell and Holy Cross as well as Division III rivals Bates, Coast Guard, Colby, Connecticut College, Hamilton, Rochester, RIT, Skidmore, St. Lawrence and Tufts and Williams before the New York State regatta in early May. Ithaca’s ultimate goal is an invitation to the ECAC Championships and the opportunity to compete for an ECAC National Invitation title. 2008 MEN’S VARSITY 8 RESULTS (10-4) Date Opponent W-L IC-Opp 3/29 Cornell L 6:49.6 - 6:34.9 Hobart W 6:41.2 - 6:43.7 Marist W 6:41.2 - 6:47.0 4/5 Rochester W 6:18.3 - 6:24.9 RIT W 6:18.3 - 628.3 4/12 Hamilton W 5:58.4 - 6:14.3 St. Lawrence W 5:58.4 - 6:18.6 4/19 Colby W 6:03.5 - 6:20.2 Tufts W 6:03.5 - 6:22.2 4/26 Williams L 6:32.2 - 6:25.9 Marist L 6:32.2 - 6:26.5 Coast Guard W 6:32.2 - 6:40.2 Marist L 6:28.8 - 6:26.8 Tufts W 6:28.8 - 6:50.2 5/3-5/4 New York State Collegiate Regatta 2nd 5/10-11 ECAC Championships 7th 10 Crew 2009
WOMEN’S CREW ITHACA COLLEGE Hopes are high that 2009 will see the Bombers maintain the program’s unparalleled success—Ithaca is the only program to compete in all seven NCAA championship regattas and won team titles in 2004 and 2005 and the varsity 8 gold medal in 2006. The fall season saw the Bombers maintain their success among New York State small schools. The varsity 8 won gold and the novice boat took second at William Smith’s Challenge on the Canal. At the Head of the Genesee (formerly the Stonehurst Regatta), the varsity 8 placed first for the third time in eight years. A week later Ithaca took sixth (out of 34 crews) at the Head of the Charles. A strong senior class includes commodores Katie O’Driscoll and Alden Hall as well as Anthea Barnett, Alexandra Chesney, Maggie Fisk, Diana Glicini, Liz June, Kelsey Schaeffer and Sarah Veninsky. Schaeffer — a two-time all-American — and O’Driscoll both return to the varsity 8, along with sophomores Amy Gefell and Lauren LaPointe. Hall and Glicini are two of seven Bombers returning from the second varsity 8, along with juniors Ailyah Emas, Erica Gordon, Kathryn Irwin, Stephanie Levesque and Julie Potter. Hopes are high for the novice crews, now under the direction of 2000 graduate Beth Greene, who has returned to the coaching staff. Ithaca’s schedule includes five NCAA participants from a year ago: Bates, Coast Guard, St. Lawrence, William Smith and defending champ Williams. Division I schools on the slate include Cornell, Holy Cross and Marist. The Bombers’ first three races are all at home. 2008 WOMEN’S VARSITY 8 RESULTS (8-5) Date Opponent W-L IC-Opp 3/29 Trinity L 7:56.0 - 7:41.7 William Smith W 7:48.8 - 7:57.8 4/5 Rochester W 7:15.3 - 7:28.6 4/12 Hamilton W 7:01.0 - 7:16.2 St. Lawrence L 6:48.6 - 6:46.7 4/19 Holy Cross W 6:47.2 - 6:48.6 Tufts W 6:47.2 - 7:30.3 Colby W 6:47.2 - 7:15.3 Connecticut College W 6:47.2 - 7:16.6 4/26 Williams L 7:24.2 - 7:10.2 Bates L 7:24.2 - 7:07.6 Bates L 7:12.7 - 7:07.6 Marist W 7:12.7 - 7:20.1 5/3-4 New York State Collegiate Regatta 1st 5/10-5/11 ECAC Collegiate Championships 4th 5/30-5/31 NCAA Championships 5th Crew 2009 11
