BRUINS BRUNSWICK
40
Times of Brunswick | Summer 2009
Coming off a golden fall season, serious winter training, and the arrival of a new German shell, there was great excitement for the spring season. Forty boys trained hard in Florida over spring vacation and were able to begin practices in Cos Cob with some good training under their belts. Captained by Taylor Black and Turner Smith, the varsity boys ended up going 6–1 during the dual meet season, only losing to eventual NE champs, Andover. A large part of that success is directly attributed to Seniors Peter Haley, Connor Fitzpatrick, Bridges King, Øivind Lorentzen, Chan Mahaney, Christian Stanco, and Ed Williams. In both of the two biggest races of the year (Stotesbury Cup and New Englands), the varsity boys had brilliant morning semifinals to advance to the grand finals, but had disappointing finals races. Coach Joe Falco’s varsity rowers looked to finish out their Brunswick School Boat Club careers in England this summer as they competed in the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta. Filling the seats of the departing Seniors is a solid group of under classmen. Coach Vanessa Thorne added much appreciated coaching talent to the program, as evidenced by the second boat finishing a strong 5th in New England. Coach John Martin’s talented freshmen are part of the capable 35 returning oarsmen. The BSBC will be led next year by highly respected Captain, Lawrence Lopez ’10.
