WOMEN’S CREW<br />
ITHACA COLLEGE<br />
Hopes are high that 2009 will see the Bombers maintain the program’s<br />
unparalleled success—<strong>Ithaca</strong> is the only program to compete in all<br />
seven NCAA championship regattas and won team titles in 2004 and<br />
2005 and the varsity 8 gold medal in 2006.<br />
The fall season saw the Bombers maintain their success among New<br />
York State small schools. The varsity 8 won gold and the novice boat took<br />
second at William Smith’s Challenge on the Canal. At the Head of the<br />
Genesee (formerly the Stonehurst Regatta), the varsity 8 placed first for the<br />
third time in eight years. A week later <strong>Ithaca</strong> took sixth (out of 34 crews)<br />
at the Head of the Charles.<br />
A strong senior class includes commodores Katie O’Driscoll and Alden<br />
Hall as well as Anthea Barnett, Alexandra Chesney, Maggie Fisk, Diana<br />
Glicini, Liz June, Kelsey Schaeffer and Sarah Veninsky. Schaeffer — a<br />
two-time all-American — and O’Driscoll both return to the varsity 8, along<br />
with sophomores Amy Gefell and Lauren LaPointe. Hall and Glicini<br />
are two of seven Bombers returning from the second varsity 8, along with<br />
juniors Ailyah Emas, Erica Gordon, Kathryn Irwin, Stephanie Levesque<br />
and Julie Potter.<br />
Hopes are high for the novice crews, now under the direction of 2000<br />
graduate Beth Greene, who has returned to the coaching staff.<br />
<strong>Ithaca</strong>’s schedule includes five NCAA participants from a year ago:<br />
Bates, Coast Guard, St. Lawrence, William Smith and defending champ<br />
Williams. Division I schools on the slate include Cornell, Holy Cross and<br />
Marist. The Bombers’ first three races are all at home.<br />
