The Women’s Sweeps
By: Severine Imbert de Smirnoff
The Women’s Sweep Team is excited to welcome 11 new rowers and 3 new coxswains this fall: Talia, Hannah, Allisaon, Beatrice, Molly, Meghan, Janie (not new), Shana, Carrie, Chelsea, Rachel, Carly, Grace and Mike. They all bring great talent and enthusiasm to the team. This fall they have already raced 2 out of 3 of the Head of the Kevins, Textile River Regatta, and the Green Mountain Head. Looking ahead, be sure to cheer them on at The Head of the Charles in the Women’s Club 8+ and teh Women’s Championship 4+.
The Men’s Sweeps
ByL Jeff Forrester
The Men’s Sweep Team is experiencing a run on masters for the fall season. There enough to fill an 8+ and two Senior Master 4+’s for The Charles. The 8+ is expected to be competitive and move further up the rankings. In the last few years we have placed in the Senior Master 4+ (50+’s), so we are looking for some hardware in that category as well as in the age 60+ boat. For the young guns, we have a Club 4+ and Champ 4+ entries. Both are positioned to place quite well, if not win.
The Juniors
By: Katy Ruderman
The juniors are excited to be starting their fourth season as Riverside Juniors! We have 20 boys and 20 girls this fall. We completed our first race (besides the world renowned Head of the Kevins) at the Textile a couple Sundays ago; we raced eights, fours, quads, and doubles. We have a very young group this fall and it seems that each week someone drops another minute off their 6K!
For the Head of the Charles we have a men’s and a women’s youth 4+ entry (Sunday at 10:05 and 10:36 respectively), seat-racing is under way with many rowers competing for the coveted Charles boat seats.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our creative uniforms at the last two Head of the Kevins, next time we’ll be repping the stripes!
