John Nicholson '68 to Be Honored as Letterwinner of Distinction

Gennaro and Mastracci Medal at World Championships

Syracuse rowing alum Natalie Mastracci '13 won a silver medal and a bronze medal at the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju, Korea over the weekend, and Mike Gennaro '11 won a bronze.

Representing Canada, Mastracci's four finished second in a time of 6:47.62 to the United States (6:43.15). Australia finished third with a time of 6:49.26.

"It felt amazing," Mastracci told Rowing Canada Aviron. "After our preliminary race we felt we had some work to do, we did exactly that." 

Mastracci was the only returning member of last year's silver-medal-winning Canadian eight from the London Olympics. 

The United States won the women's eight in 6:02.14, followed by Romania in 6:07.04 for silver and then Canada in 6:09.34. Rowing Canada Aviron reported that Mastracci's eight was down off the start and rowed back into contention. 

Gennaro's four also had to row from behind to get on the podium. According to USRowing, Gennaro's crew moved into second place at the 1,000-meter mark to challenge the Australian crew, only to have the Netherlands beat both boats for the gold. The times were the Netherlands in 6:13.95, Australia in 6:14.58 and the U.S. in 6:15.46.

"The Australians had an unbelievable race," Gennaro told USRowing. "I still don't know much about this event and how it goes, but I have to believe that was some of the best rowing anyone ever had."

"Harry"

This is a blog where we write mostly about Syracuse crew/rowing. In a very real way the passing of Harry Parker is about that too. To point out that he was a strong influence on our excellent Coach Dave Reischman is to barely touch how "Harry" has affected all of us.

I never had the privilege of meeting the man but I choked up at the news of his death, even so. All of us who care about the sport owe a great debt to Harry Parker.

Here's a marvelous remembrance courtesy of row2k.com

V8 Finishes Season 16th at IRA

Syracuse's Varsity Eight struggled in the third level final at the IRA today, finishing fourth - 16th overall. 13-seed Penn won the race by almost a length and Georgetown nudged its D.C neighbor George Washington for second. The 14-seed Orange were about a length back of GWU, with Oregon State and FIT bringing up the rear, within a length of SU.

SU 2V8 Fourth in Petite: Gets Top Ten Finish

Harvard outfought Cornell to take the second varsity eight Petite Final at the IRA with Wisconsin and Syracuse next. The Crimson gave up its lead to the Big Red briefly, then came back to win it in the sprint by half a length. Wisconsin's Badgers edged the hard-charging Orange boat by less than a second. Yale was fifth and Penn sixth.

Coach Dave Reischman's eight finished tenth overall, one spot higher than its seed going in.

Varsity Four Last in Petite

Florida Institute of Technology's Varsity Four with Cox  won the IRA Petite Final wire-to-wire this morning, taking Yale by about a length. Navy was third, followed by Colgate, Penn and Syracuse. The Orange fell behind the field at the start and never was able to move up.

Open 4 Takes Third in Petite; Ninth Overall

The Orange Open Four with Cox understroked the field for much of the race, but rowed through Penn in the last 500 meters to take third in the Petite Final Wisconsin, rowing 36-37 all the way, held off Harvard in second. Following SU it was Penn, Gonzaga and Holy Cross.

Age Before Beauty; Cornell tops SU in Alumni Race

When you give another crew a 30 second head start in a 2,000 meter race it's just about impossible to catch up, even when the oarsmen average ten years older in that other crew. Syracuse's alumni eight with cox (Joe Peter, of course) made up all but a length or so on Cornell this morning, passing Cal in the process, but couldn't quite catch the Big Red.

Cal, averaging 62 years old, got an eight second start and the Orange rowed past the silver-haired Golden Bears at about the halfway point. SU was the youngest crew in the 3-boat event, averaging 59 years of age. The Big Red averaged 69.

V8 Second in Semi; Moves to 3rd Level Final

The Orange Varsity Eight led through much of the first half of a very tight semifinal but was passed by George Washington this afrernoon and wound up second, a seat or two back and just ahead of FIT. All three qualified for the 3rd Level Final. Drexel and Gonzaga finished fourth and fifth.

The 14-seed Orange will see GWU and FIT again tomorrow along with Penn, Georgetown and Oregon State which took the top three spots in the other final.

Lanes for 3rd Level Final: 1- FIT 2- Syracuse 3- GWU 4-Penn 5- Georgetown 6 -OSU

2V8 to Petites

The Orange second varsity eight was unable to keep up in this morning's semi-final, finishing last in a race won easily by Washington. Princeton and Northeastern join UW in the Grand final. Wisconsin was fourth, Penn fifth. They'll join SU in the 2V8 petite final.

V4+ Trails in Semi; Goes to Petites

The Orange Varsity Four with Cox goes again Colgate, Navy, FIT, Yale and Penn in the Petite Final on Sunday. SU fell off the pace early and finished sixth in the semifinal this morning.

California won the race with BU next. Cornell held off Navy for the last spot in the Grand Final with Colgate and SU behind.

Open Four Just Misses Grands; Goes to Petites

SU caught Penn in the sprint, but Oregon State blasted past both to the finish and took the Orange by less than half a length.. Cal won the semi, with Northeastern in second.

SU goes to the Petite finals on Sunday to face Wisconsin, Harvard, Gonzaga, Penn and Holy Cross.

2V, V4 Win IRA Reps: V8 Slips to Lower Level

The Orange Second Varsity Eight and Varsity Four with Cox had it when they had to this afternoon, winning their repechages on Lake Natoma and moving to the upper division of the semifinals. But SU's Varsity could not catch up with Wisconsin in a three-boat race and will battle on Saturday  for a spot in the third level final.

With just one spot in the upper semis available, SU's 2V8 battled Yale all the way down the course. The Eli led for the first half but the Orange rowed through and won it by less than a second. Stanford, Dartmouth, UCSD and Gonzaga rounded out the field.

In the V4+ Syracuse grabbed the semifinal spot by taking second place Princeton by open water, with Drexel and George Washington behind.

The V8 found itself up against Wisconsin and Gonzaga in the rep and the Badgers just had too much for the Orange. Coach Dave Reischman's men were just over a length behind.

SU's Open Four had already secured a spot in the semis by coming in third in its morning heat.

SU Open Four Finishes Third, Advances to Semifinal

The Syracuse crew fell behind off the start, then rowed through the Pennsylvania Quakers to finish third in the morning heat and grab a spot in the Open Four semifinal at the IRA.

Northeastern's Huskies walked away with the heat with Wisconsin coming in second.

Syracuse Varsity Four + Follows Suit - to Reps

The Orange varsity four with cox fell behind off the start and never challenged in the opening heat as FIT ran away from the field and Colgate took the second qualifying spot. The Raiders held off Navy for second. Then it was Penn, SU and Gonzaga.

Syracuse gets another shot at the semis in the repechage.

Orange 2V to Reps; Trails Cal and Northeastern in Heat

Syracuse's second varsity finished third in the morning heat on Lake Natoma and will have to get to the semi-finals through the repechages. California won the heat easily with Northeastern having a length on SU halfway through and taking the second qualifying spot. Navy was fourth and Gonzaga fifth as they saved energy for the afternoon.

Joining the Golden Bears and Huskies in getting through to the semis were Princeton, Harvard, Brown, Wisconsin, Washington and BU.

Brown, Cal Qualify in V8s; SU to Reps

Brown and California battled hard in the opening varsity eights heat at the IRA on Lake Natoma this morning, with the Golden Bears edging Bruno by less than a second. Both qualified for the semi-finals. Cornell and Syracuse backed off a bit in the second 1,000 meters to finish third and fourth and get set for the repechage. FIT and Gonzaga trailed.

Harvard, Princeton, Washington and Yale qualified for the semis in the ensuing heats.

V8 Fifth in Petite; Navy wins easily

Navy blasted off the started line and nobody got close in the Petite Final on Lake Quinsigamond this afternoon. Syracuse wound up fifth - eleventh overall.

Cornell and Wisconsin battled for second with the Big Red rowing away at the end. Penn was fourth, then the Orange and Georgetown.

SU's 11th place finish is two spots above it's 13-seed and should secure a spot in the IRA in Sacramento.

Big Red Takes 2V8 Petite, Syracuse Third

Cornell rowed past Yale at about the midway point and stayed strong to win the second varsity eight petite final at the Eastern Sprints this afternoon. Syracuse was in the fight for the first half of the race and finished third, ahead of Penn, Navy and Columbia.

SU's 2V finishes 9th overall at the Sprints, one spot ahead of its seeding.

Men's 3V8 fifth in Petite.

Syracuse's third varsity eight wound up eleventh overall at the Eastern Sprints this afternoon, taking fifth in the Petite Final. The Orange crew was just behind fourth-place Harvard and ahead of Dartmouth. Up front, Yale led for most of the race, but saw Columbia and Cornell blow by in the stretch to take first and second.

The eleventh place finish matches the Orange's seed going in.

SU Women Just Short in Last Try at Big East Title

Notre Dame's' Fighting Irish women's crews did it again on Lake Mercer today, sweeping the major Big East Championship Races. Syracuse's V8 was less than a length behind in the final.

Syracuse's second varsity eight was third, barely a half-second behind Louisville, but Notre Dame had open water on both.

The Orange V4+ was third behind the Irish and the Cardinals. Louisville got a win in the 2V4+ over ND, with Syracuse third. And the Orange 3V8 took second, open water behind the Irish.

Official times here courtesyof row2k.com http://www.herenow.com/html/rowingRace.html?raceId=52


The loss to Notre Dame deprives Coach Justin Moore's squad of the hoped-for automatic NCAA bid that goes with the Big East title. And for Syracuse, it is the last racing in the Big East as the Orange moves to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. Eventually they'll see Notre Dame and Louisville in competition there.

All Three SU Crews in Sprints Petites: IRA Invite Looks Good

Coach Dave Reischman's Varsity Eight was not about to be beaten by Datrmouth again this morning. After losing by .7 second eight days earlier on Onondaga Lake, the Orange left the Big Green far behind in the first V8. With Harvard and BU out ahead, SU and Wisconsin battled for third with the Badgers taking third by about half length. Both advanced to the Petite Final while Harvard and BU made the Grand Final.

In addition to Wisco, the Orange V8 goes against Cornell, Georgetown, navy and Penn in the Petite.

The guaranteed top 12 finish at the Sprints seems to ensure that Syracuse will get an invitation to the IRA in Sacramento.

SU's JV had to wait to race in the morning heat as Rutgers had breakage at the start line and all crews had to row off and wait for repairs to be made. Once they got going, the Orange grabbed the lead in the start but Brown soon took over and rowed away from the field as SU and Northeastern fought for the second spot. The Huskies got across first, with SU ahead of Columbia, Georgetown and Rutgers.

The Orange 2V goes against the Lions, Cornell, Penn Yale and Navy in the Petite.


Syracuse's third varsity eight was the first Orange crew to race this morning, taking third in its heat about half a length ahead of Harvard. Brown and BU advanced to the Grand Final.
In the Petite the Orange 3V faces Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth and Yale.

SU Men at Eastern Sprints - Where to Watch

 

Syracuse and Dartmouth's varsity eights are set to face off again Sunday in the morning heat at the Eastern Sprints, just eight days after the Big Green edged the Orange by .7 second on Onondaga Lake. Dartmouth has the 12 seed and SU the 13. Top-seeded Harvard is favored in the heat. Six seed Boston U, seven seed Wisconsin and 18 seed Rutgers complete the field.

 

Mason Leasure is back in the V8 after being a last minute scratch last weekend due to illness and the SU crew is hoping that will help get the boat moving faster.

 

Syracuse's second varsity is the 10 seed and the 3V is 11.

Orange Takes Two but Big Green Takes Home Packard Cup

They went after it like two crews ranked next to each other and the end result showed that's how they should be compared. Dartmouth's Big Green Varsity Eight overcame a slight SU lead early to edge ahead of the Orange and hang on for a win by less than a second Saturday morning. The race was rowed on the sheltered buoy line along the far side of Onondaga Lake after driving rain and shifting winds blew the crews off the regular course.

Syracuse's Second Varsity Eight, also racing on the buoy line course grabbed the lead off the start and beat Dartmouth by more than a length of open water. The Third Varsity Eights got their race in on the regular course that runs past the boathouse and SU also had an open water win.

Syracuse's Varsity Eight came into the race ranked 15th in the US Rowing Coaches Poll to Dartmouth's 16th. In the EARC seeding poll SU was 13th and Dartmouth 12th. If this close race leaves them in those positions in the final seeding poll they'll face off again next Sunday morning in the morning heat at the Eastern Sprints.

Both Syracuse and Dartmouth will be looking for a strong finish at the Sprints to secure an invitation to the IRA in Sacramento.

BU Sweeps and Takes Conlan Cup: SU Third in V8

Syracuse's Varsity Eight made a fight of it in the first half of the race this morning, but fell back in the third 500, as 13th-ranked Boston University powered to an open water win over #10 Columbia. The 14th-ranked Syracuse eight was open water back of the Lions. The win by BU completed a sweep of the morning's four races on Overpeck Creek, ostensibly a home course for Columbia.

Unofficially, BU finished in 6:00, with Columbia at 6:04 and Syracuse at 6:09.

BU takes the Conlan Cup back to Boston with the win over Syracuse. Coach Dave Reischman has a couple of weeks now to get his squad ready for the only home race of this season, the Packard Cup against Dartmouth.

BU Does It Again in 2V8; Syracuse Second

Boston University, undersroking for the first half of the second varsity eight race, took up the pace and rowed past Syracuse to an open water win. The Orange, which led briefly at the halfway point, wound up open water back with Columbia more than a length of open water behind the Orange.

The Terriers settled off the start at 34 strokes per minute with the Orange at 38. In the third 500 meters, BU took it up to 38 and blasted past Syracuse. It was third win of the morning in three tries for BU. 

Unofficial timing had BU at 6:12, Syracuse at 6:17 and Columbia at 6:25.

BU Takes 3V8 over Columbia;SU Third

Boston University's Third Varsity eight made it two for two, winning the second race of the morning by more than a length over Columbia. Syracuse was third just over a length behind. The Terriers were about even with the Lions off the start but then rowed steadily away, finishing the 2,000 meter course in an unofficial time of 6:11. Columbia was at 6:22 and Syracuse at 6:25.

Terriers Take V4; Orange Second

Boston University's varsity four with cox edged ahead of Syracuse off the start this morning and took an open water lead by the halfway point, then held on to beat the Orange in the opening race of the day. Columbia trailed far behind. The crews raced on Overpeck Creek in Northern New Jersey. The unofficial time for BU was 7:15 with Syracuse at 7:20.

MIDDIES TAKE JV8; SU EDGES CORNELL FOR SECOND

Navy's second varsity eight made it three for three for the Middies in this morning's racing on the Severn River. Navy pulled away to open water in the last 500 meters as Syracuse and Cornell fought stroke-for-stroke for second place. The Orange-Big Red finish was so close that there was no imnediate word on which crew finished first. When it came it was good news for SU - the Orange taking second by what at first was reported as about a bow ball but the offical results show as a length. Official results for all three races courtesy of row2k.com here: http://www.row2k.com/results/resultspage.cfm?UID=5443381&cat=1

  According to Navy's on-line announcer the race was rowed with a steady 15 mph tailwind from the northwest, causing significant swells on the water. SU did not have a boat in the freshman competition.

NAVY TAKES GOES TROPHY; ORANGE WELL BACK IN V8 RACE

Favored Navy won the Goes Trophy this morning with a start-to-finish lead over Cornell, holding off the Big Red in the sprint. Syracuse fell back at the start and never was able to get back into the competition, finishng third. The Midshipmen rowed the body of the race in a tailwind at 36 1/2 spm and had about a half length lead over Cornell at the 1,000 meter mark. The Orange eight was open water behind. Cornell took the beat to 38 early in the last 500 but was not able to catch Navy. The race hd a floating start on an alternate course on the Severn River because of conditions.

NAVY TAKES 3V8; ORANGE SECOND IN OPENING RACE

Navy's Midshipmen grabbed a deck lead over Syracuse off the start and never trailed in the third varsity eight race at Annapolis this morning. Syracuse stayed within about a deck until the halfway point as Cornell slipped back. Navy and SU both rowed the body of the race at 36spm, acording to Navy's internet announcer. The Middies pulled away from SU in the sprint and wound up winning by about a length in an unofficial time of 5:56.6. SU was at 5:59.6 and the Big Red trailed in 6:07.7. Racing was delayed about 20 minutes and moved to an alternate course because of conditions.

UPDATE re: Men's racing Saturday, 4/20/13:

from Coach Dave Reischman:

To anyone planning on calling in or watching the racing this weekend. The weather in Annapolis this weekend is expected to be windy and there is always the possibility of last second schedule or race course changes. I will try to send any changes to our email list to keep everyone informed. Already we have changed the schedule to move the varsity racing a bit earlier in the day to give them the best water opportunity. We will be racing in the first 3 events of the day: 1V, 2V and 3V.

I have received questions in the past about how the decision making process for changing courses and schedules happen for our regular season races. Without fail for my 11 years at Syracuse these decisions have been made with input and agreement from all the head coaches in a particular Cup race. The first consideration is always the safety of our athletes and then the fairness of the racing. The main cups/trophies are decided by the out come of the Varsity Race so getting that race off in the best conditions is the priority.

Already for this weekend we have moved the varsity race up in the schedule in anticipation of building winds throughout the morning. A lot of coaches like to put a lower boat down the course first just to troubleshoot the stake boats and timers to make sure everything is good for the varsity race. The new race schedule is listed below.

INSIDE THE SU MEN'S SPRING TRIP

At the request of The Orange Oar and suathletics.com junior cox Liz Abraham and sophomore oarsman Stephen Hoskins kept a journal of the men’s team’s spring training trip. With thanks to them, here it is.

 

  

Syracuse Men’s Crew: Spring Training                                3/9/13- 3/11/13

                                                                            

            Our Saturday began Friday evening at 11:00pm when we boarded the bus bound for Clemson, South Carolina.  Shortly after we made our way down I-81 people began to find some floor space and spread out in an attempt to find the most comfortable position to catch some sleep.   As the sun rose, so did many sleepy heads.  We continued to make our way, and roughly 15 hours later we arrived in Clemson.   Once we all got settled into our rooms we made our way down to the racecourse; for some it was new sight, others a familiar landscape.  We rigged the boats and hit the water for the first time in months.  This trip marks the end of winter training, but the beginning of the spring campaign as we gear up for the spring racing season.  Many people are excited to see how their hard work will pay off on the water.  We have spent the past eight weeks training indoors on the ergs and hitting the weights, and have seen big gains in the process.  As the day winds down guys are taking advantage of getting to bed early because we all know it will be a long week full of seat racing and “putting in the miles.”

            Daylight Savings marked our first full day in Clemson. While the changing of the clocks provided a seemingly earlier wake-up call than we had anticipated, we were eager to take advantage of the warm weather here in South Carolina, as it is a luxury not always afforded in Syracuse. Daylight Savings also makes our impending spring racing season a reality and with our Women’s team kicking off their racing season at the end of the week, our schedule is not far behind. Two practices today were focused on long technical rows in the eights, getting ourselves reacquainted with the water. Our time spent indoors this winter in the tank and on group sliders was instrumental in maintaining our technique, but there is no substitute for time on the water. A little sunshine and some fresh air were quick to jog our memories and the feel for the water came back easily. The welcomed hiatus from daily classes is an ideal environment for refining our skills and we are looking forward to some friendly competition and long miles to come this week.

            Our third day back on the water included building rhythm and moving together at lower rates.  Each practice seems to build on the last as we continue to dust off the cobwebs from winter training.  The afternoon welcomed us with some rain, but that didn’t stop our crews from going out in getting some miles in in the 4’s and 8’s. 

 

Syracuse Men’s Crew: Spring Training                                3/12/13

 

            Clear skies were whole heartedly welcomed after getting caught in some rain the evening prior. This morning we boated in a fleet of four eights and headed out for clear water to put in some long meters of hard pulling, time-trial style. Even though we have had several practices in Clemson under our belt, we were eager to measure our speed against each other with some competitive pieces.

            Our afternoon practice was spent in the “four with’s,” focusing on technical changes to enhance stability and rhythm. We have settled into our routines by now and our time in between practices is spent leisurely. Some unwind with teammates playing video games, others catch some daytime television and a quick nap, and a few take this opportunity to work on school assignments. Directly after our evening practices, we depart for the Clemson dining hall and enjoy a variety of food, some traditional southern cooking, and sweet tea.  

 

Syracuse Men’s Crew: Spring Training                                3/13/2013

 

            Wednesday greeted us with weather that we’re more accustomed to; cool, damp and windy.  Some seat racing was done within a couple of the boats, but a late morning row for the top 2 varsity boats was disrupted by increasing winds which made seat racing hard to accomplish.  After some morning rowing, and a wonderfully prepared breakfast by the hotel staff, we we’re given the afternoon to rest up and prepare for an intense end of the week.  Many of us got to enjoy the afternoon exploring the nearby area and spending some time on Clemson’s campus.  We got to experience a Clemson baseball game as well as some of the locals supporting their team who were, “loud” and “proud” to be Clemson fans.  We got stopped a couple of times by people asking us about our move to the ACC and how next year we will be rivals.  After spending the afternoon resting our bodies, we fueled up at a local, backwoods BBQ restaurant called ‘Smoke and Blue BBQ’.  As much as we love our Dinosaur BBQ, true southern BBQ hit the spot as we left with full stomachs.  As the day winds down, and our stomachs digest we are all going to bed to get ready for the next 3 days of rowing and taking advantage of the nice weather that is expected the next few days.

 

 

 

Syracuse Men’s Crew: Spring Training                                3/14/2013

            The week of training here in South Carolina is quickly coming to a close, but not before we face some true tests of speed in the four with’s. Boating the team into several four-man boats is always interesting because the small size of the boat allows each rower to showcase their talents and it helps to pinpoint necessary changes among individuals. The conditions this morning were ideal and we took advantage of the flat conditions and warm temperatures to accurately measure our speed. The practice plan proved itself rigorous yet rewarding. We switched rowers among the boats between pieces to trial different line-ups. Opportunities to race side-by-side provide valuable information that cannot always be reproduced inside on the ergs.

            After our intense practice this morning, we shifted gears for the afternoon. We boated again in the four with’s and set out on a long steady state row to reinforce a technical focus. Spring break is flying by and we have made significant progress since the beginning of the week. We are eager to finish out the week with race pieces and start sorting out our line-ups for this spring.

 

Syracuse Men’s Crew: Spring Training                                3/15/2013

 

            To the average person today was just another Friday, but for the Syracuse Orange men’s crew team it was the second to last day of spring training in Clemson.  The hard work continued as we continue to figure out seat positions for the spring.  Two of the crews went out in fours and did some seat racing while one of the crews did some piecework with Purdue and the other completed the morning row off with Coach Hemmerly.  As the sun beat down, faces began to get red as some people seemed to have forgotten their sunscreen.  Today ended up being the warmest day since we had been here, but in the afternoon the wind picked up as we all went out for a steady state row, and found ourselves alongside some big waves, but it’s conditions we’re accustomed to; as coach Reischman likes to call it, “Syracuse racing weather”.  The extra boats were de-rigged and washed and we are ready for our last practice in the south before shipping back up north for the spring.  This week has helped us to build confidence in all of us as we transition to the water.  We have made a lot of gains indoors and now it’s time to apply it to moving the boats and getting fast.  We have shown some glimpses of it over the course of the week and continue to build on it every day.  We will continue to work hard as we prepare for our opening scrimmage against Princeton and Georgetown in just two short weeks.
