Ohio State Crew Club would like to thank Coaches; Tom Madden, Katie Salvator, and Cole Vanicek, rowers; Adam Reckless, Paul Mangold and Josh Taub along with recent graduate Ian Dunn for their help with the trailer bed replacement. A special thanks to Mr. Reckless for donating his time, his tools, and his expertise to help the club replace the worn through and weathered bed of the trailer. The trailer looks as good as new and should be able to withstand the wear and tear of the travels for many seasons to come.

The Buckeyes topped off their season at the National Championship in Oklahoma City. ACRA (American Collegiate Rowing Association) presented stiff winds and stiffer competition. 30+mph winds delayed and cancelled some races. The team pulled through as both the novice women’s four and the novice men’s four were awarded bronze medals based on their time trial times. The Buckeyes won several individual honors. Oarswoman Ellen Manovich was awarded All American First Team, while Claire Foley made the All Freshmen Boat as a coxswain. Tori Mason and Alex Naegele made All American third team. Anna Kwa, Ellen Mavovich and Elena Reynolds received First Team Academic All Americans while Carter East, Katie Magee, Claire Mondro, Lucas Serdar, Julie Stehli, and Megan Weisman took Second Team Academic All Americans.

The Buckeyes met 125 of the nation’s best crews in the city of brotherly love. Dad Vail (est. 1934) is the largest regatta in the country and is among its most competitive. Strong semifinal performances were made by the Men’s novice four, the Men’s pair(uncoxed), the Men’s varsity lightweight four, Women’s novice four and the Women’s varsity eight. The team would like to express tremendous appreciation to the Alumni association and the Parents club. The tent, cheering and food (especially the food) were the best they have ever been, creating an excellent atmosphere for rowers and parents alike.

This year’s Mid-American Collegiate Rowing Association championship took place in Athens Ohio. The Men’s lightweight varsity four took home gold,
the senior varsity four took silver, and the varsity eight earned bronze. The
Women’s novice 4 took gold, the varsity light four took silver, and the
varsity eight took home bronze.
