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."
