The Syracuse University women’s rowing team opens its fall season on Saturday, October 16 at the Head of the Genesee Regatta held at Genesee Waterways Center in Rochester, N.Y. The team’s two varsity eight boats will both participate in the head/sprint combination race featuring top college crews from the northeast, including Cornell, Buffalo, Marietta and Ithaca.
The boats will race a three-mile course in the morning and then a 1,500-meter sprint in the afternoon. The winner will be determined by taking the 1,500-meter time, multiplying it by three and adding it to the three mile time.
Saturday’s race will also mark the first for first-year Orange had coach Justin Moore. Moore, a six-time NCAA Champion and U.S. Junior National Team coach came to Syracuse after a very successfully 11-year tenure at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.
When Syracuse last competed in the Head of the Genesee on October 13, 2008, the Orange varsity eight boat won the race, finishing with a total time of 3238.23, six seconds faster than second-place finisher Western Ontario. It was the first time in 17 years the Orange had won the Head of the Genesee.
After a long pre-season of conditioning and practice the Orange hopes to come out on top again.
