Mike Gennaro's bid for the 2012 Olympic team came up just a bit short, as he and partner Robert Otto finished second at the trials earlier this week. For the SU alum and current U23 pair and eight world champion the pair trials was the last shot at the London Games, as he was one of the last athletes to leave the eight camp earlier this spring.
Anyone who has followed Mike's career since he arrived at Longbranch knows this will not be the last we hear of him on the international rowing scene. While Mike is certainly sorely disappointed, his fierce determination ensures future success.
Finally, let's remind ourselves, and Mike, that while second in the Olympic Trials was not the goal, it is nonetheless very impressive indeed.

Nicely put Joe. We will be hearing much more from Mike in the next few years...no doubt.
