SRAAs, Varsity Banquet, and Captains

For those who weren't able to make it out to SRAA Nationals last weekend, Notre Dame Varsity 2x secured a bronze medal, after an impressive showing across two days of racing. In the grand final Kelly and Maria dueled it out with Conestoga before executing a crushing sprint to secure their place on the podium and make it known that Stoga era is coming to a close!

You can watch the live stream replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yfSRT6uf3M&list=UUv-GR7pR4WtmP59kjLRY-qw
The grand final for the Varsity Women's 2x begins at 5:36:00 into the full stream. NDA is in lane 5.

 

A few important reminders:

Sports Banquet:

The Varsity Sports Dinner will be held in the Amy Willard Gym at 6pm on Monday June 2nd. There will be an overview of the season, the awarding of varsity letters and JV certificates, and the presentation of the Varsity Coach's Award and Most Improved Award. 

Please sign up as soon. Registration.

Captains:

There will be a short team meeting prior to the banquet to elect captains and talk about summer and fall rowing options. Plan to meet at the Launfal building at 5:15pm. If you cannot attend, please let me know ASAP so you can submit your nominations and vote for captain via email or text.

Stotesbury Saturday: Semi-Finals Cancelled; Finals TBD

Unfortunately the Semi-finals are cancelled due to high water flow and debris on the river. Another meeting will be held at 11am to determine the fate of the finals.

City Championships are predicted to be held on schedule, and with yesterday's showing in the time trials I expect a fast and fun day for Notre Dame.

Rowers who did not compete on Friday May 17th are required to go for 25min run or a 40min bike before noon on Saturday. I apologize for any confusion, I will continue to post any new information as soon as possible. Continue to check the Stotesbury website for the most up to date information.



 

Saturday Stotesbury: Weather Update

A decision will be made at 7am regarding Saturday racing. 

The river crested earlier then anticipated so hopefully the racing won't be effected later this morning or this afternoon. Regardless, expect fast conditions today and tomorrow. At this point I don't have any more information then you do. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Check the Stotesbury Cup website or following @StotesRegatta on twitter for the fastest updates.

The following crews advanced to the Semi-finals:
LTWT2X
JV4X
V2X
V4X
V1X

Plan on arriving at the posted time until told otherwise. Lightweights plan to arrive at 7:30am until I can find out more info about your rescheduled semi-final.

City Championships: Information and Schedule

Note: Practice on Thursday May 15th will be from 4:00-6:00pm. The bus will depart Notre Dame at 3:30pm.

City Championships is our most important race of the season and our qualifier for SRAA Nationals later this month. While Stotesbury is a big and exciting race, it isn't nearly as important as Cities and thus it is important that we not overlook it as we head into a long weekend of racing. We are MUCH faster then we were the last time we lined up against the Flick schools and this is our opportunity to battle it out to the medal dock!

Below are the line-ups and schedule for Cities. If you have any questions or concerns about your spot in the boat, feel free to come talk to me at practice.

Per usual, everyone is expected to remain at the course until all of the racing is finished.
