T H E G E O R G E WA S H I N G T O N U N I V E R S I T Y 2009-10 OUTLOOK With a young team filled with 24 underclassmen, the 2010 spring racing season promises to be a year in which youth will play a major role for GW Women’s Rowing. While this year’s team features four seniors, it will rely on one of the largest novice classes in the last few years to help it find the speed necessary throughout the season. This year’s senior class has experienced a high level of success over the past three years and the team will need to rely on the their racing experience to make it through a challenging spring racing schedule, and return to the medal stand at the A-10 Championship. The novice squad is a very talented group, and after a fierce tryout period, should be ready to bring a new level of competitiveness to the team. With five races under their belts from the fall season, the young Colonials also will be able to draw from experience as they head into the spring schedule. The Colonials spring season includes races against North Carolina, Duke, Georgetown, Virginia, George Mason, the Murphy Cup and Princeton. The team will also compete in the 2010 Atlantic 10 Rowing Championship where it hopes to improve on last year’s finish. The Colonials will have their chance to see how months of hard work and preparation pay off when they compete in the Eastern Sprints Women’s Regatta on May 16. The regatta features many of the top teams that competed in the 2009 NCAA Championship. NCAA Nationals will begin on May 28th and will run through May 30th.

T H E G E O R G E WA S H I N G T O N U N I V E R S I T Y 2009-10 OUTLOOK With a young team filled with 24 underclassmen, the 2010 spring racing season promises to be a year in which youth will play a major role for GW Women’s Rowing. While this year’s team features four seniors, it will rely on one of the largest novice classes in the last few years to help it find the speed necessary throughout the season. This year’s senior class has experienced a high level of success over the past three years and the team will need to rely on the their racing experience to make it through a challenging spring racing schedule, and return to the medal stand at the A-10 Championship. The novice squad is a very talented group, and after a fierce tryout period, should be ready to bring a new level of competitiveness to the team. With five races under their belts from the fall season, the young Colonials also will be able to draw from experience as they head into the spring schedule. The Colonials spring season includes races against North Carolina, Duke, Georgetown, Virginia, George Mason, the Murphy Cup and Princeton. The team will also compete in the 2010 Atlantic 10 Rowing Championship where it hopes to improve on last year’s finish. The Colonials will have their chance to see how months of hard work and preparation pay off when they compete in the Eastern Sprints Women’s Regatta on May 16. The regatta features many of the top teams that competed in the 2009 NCAA Championship. NCAA Nationals will begin on May 28th and will run through May 30th.

2 0 0 9 - 10 WO M E N ’ S ROW I NG ROWING AT GW Being a part of George Washington University Rowing means being part of a long, winning tradition. From its humble beginnings as a college club more than 35 years ago to its present status as a full varsity program, George Washington Rowing has become one of the most successful programs in the country. Each year, approximately 60 student-athletes try for a spot on the team. For those who are willing to make the commitment and work hard, the payoff is enormous. Practice at GW begins during the first few weeks of school and takes place on campus and at the H.T. Thompson Boat Center. Members of the varsity team practice in the morning while the novice squad offers both morning and afternoon practice times in order to accommodate each rower’s class schedule. During the winter months, the team’s training takes place at Charles E. Smith Athletic Center and Lerner Health and Wellness Center. In the spring, the team’s racing schedule includes many of the top rowing programs on the East Coast. Colonials crews have won medals at the IRA, Champion International, Atlantic 10 Rowing Championship and Dad Vail Regattas, as well as the San Diego Crew Classic. In 1998, the Colonials varsity eight earned the right to compete at the NCAA Women’s Rowing Championship. Crews representing GW also have traveled to Europe where they have raced at the English Henley and against other international collegiate crews. Many recent graduates have continued on with their rowing careers long after college. Jen Edwards ‘97 garnered a silver medal at the 2001 World Championships held in Lucerne, Switzerland. The medal came in her first time on the national team as a member of the U.S. Lightweight Women’s quadruple sculls. Linda Miller ‘94 was a member of the U.S. National Team from 1997 through the 2000 Sydney Olympics and a twotime medalist at the World Championships.
