Following four consecutive weekends of strong spring racing, the men's crew team is gearing up for the first big regatta of the season, the Knecht Cup. We hope those of you in the area can come out to show your support for the team this Saturday and Sunday. You can find more information about the regatta, including driving directions, on the regatta website.
We might still be in the middle of winter training, but that doesn't mean we can't start looking forward to this spring season's packed racing schedule. This spring will see the team racing all up and down the east coast, so mark your calendars now for the races near you! You can always view the complete schedule (including links to relevant regatta websites and results when available) on our website, or just see the summary below.
We're happy to inform you that the Fall 2011 issue of The Oarsman is now available online at http://bucknellcrew.org/OarsmanFall2011. We'd like to congratulate the team again on a great fall season as we're looking forward to some very competitive spring racing.
Of course, as always, we thank you for your continued support, and wish you a happy holiday season from Bucknell Crew.
We hope everyone in the Bucknell Crew family had a happy Thanksgiving!
Just a reminder that the Bucknell Crew Boathouse Gear store is closing this Monday. So if you've had your fill of long lines and big crowds from Black Friday shopping, head over to http://bucknellcrew.boathousegear.com/ to pick up some high-quality Bucknell Crew gear for the holidays! Proceeds directly benefit the team.
The Bucknell Men's Crew Boathouse Team Store is now open! We have added some new items to the store this year, so please take a look. Bucknell Crew gear makes for great holiday gifts for parents and athletes alike! Alums, this is also your chance to get some gear!
The store is only open for a limited time, so please act quickly! All orders are guaranteed for holiday delivery!
One of rowing's most exciting events, the Head of the Charles in Boston, MA, is coming up fast. If you'll be in the Boston area, we encourage you to register for Bucknell's tent in the Alumni Village which provides a great view of the racecourse and a central location to gather with other alumni and to meet the team and coaches. It's only $5 a day, and includes food!
The team's fall racing season will start up in just over a month, and we hope you're just as excited as we are to see them continue to build on the success of the last several years. You can see the full schedule, including links to regatta websites with parking directions etc. and links to results when they become available, at http://bucknellcrew.org/2011_2012_schedule. At a glance, the schedule is:
As part of our continuing effort to hold annual alumni events in addition to the reunion extravaganza every five years, we've scheduled this year's Alumni Weekend for October 1st - 2nd. Plans for the weekend are tentative but you can expect to arrive on campus to catch up with friends on Friday evening, then a fully-packed day on Saturday including an alumni row and BBQ with the team, as well as a chance to speak with our new head coach Al Monte, and of course additional festivities in the evening.
