Spring Training 3/07/2012
From Right to left, Lt. Joe Marchand, Captain Jordan Buzza, and newcomer Sem Oerlemans from the Netherlands enjoy some R&R after a tough week of conditioning during Spring training 2012 in Duck, NC. The Dukes Mens Crew will compete in a host of regattas as we look to continue to uphold the time tested tradition that has been set before us. As the season looms to a ferocious start, the Dukes will break out a novice four which belted first place finishes last Fall and a light weight four gutted with refined senior rowers and veteran coxswain. Last but not least, powerhouses Joe “objects are farther than they appear” Camarotto and John “my wake, your funeral” Romain will put aside their differences as they duke out the Spring season in the pair.
Pittsburgh Indoor Sprints 1/28/12
An indoor start to the rowing season led to a successful day of erging at the North Catholic High School right here in Pittsburgh, PA. Our novice rowers got a taste of what an erging competition feels like, and the varsity team had a great time battling other schools on the machines. For the second year in a row one of our teams grabbed first place in the mixed team relay! Hopefully next year we can keep the winning streak going!
