Bartosz Szczyrba Boat Dedication Tomorrow

Bartosz Szczyrba Memorial and Boat Dedication Ceremony

Time
Saturday, September 24 · 10:00am - 11:00am

Location
The James A. Ten Eyck Memorial Boathouse
Ten Eyck Rd.
Syracuse, NY

Please join us to celebrate the life of Bartosz Szczyrba of the Syracuse University class of 2007.

Bartosz was an excellent oarsman, student and friend. The memorial will be held at the Ten Eyck Boathouse, a place where Bartosz sent much of his time simply making boats go fast and pushing his teammates to higher levels. In his honor, a shell in the current SU men's rowing fleet will bear Bartosz's name. Part of our celebration will be the christening of this boat.

We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate the life of our friend and fellow Syracuse oarsman.

MEN'S SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

From suathletics.com

The Syracuse University men’s rowing program announced its schedule for the 2011-12 season. The Orange will race in four events in the fall, including the Head of the Charles in Boston on Oct. 23, the Princeton Chase on Oct. 30 and the Syracuse Fall Invitational on Nov. 5 at the James A. Ten Eyck Memorial Boathouse. SU will close out the fall season back in Boston with the Foot of the Charles on Nov. 19.



Last fall, the Orange showed great success in these upcoming events. The varsity four boat took first in both the Princeton Chase and the Syracuse Invitational and placed third in the Foot of the Charles. The varsity eight boat finished second in the Princeton Chase.

On March 31, SU will begin the spring season by taking on Princeton and Georgetown in Princeton, N.J., in the the first of six races. The Orange will host Navy and Cornell for the Goes Trophy on April 14. The following races include the Conlan Cup in Boston on April 21, the Eastern Sprints in Worcester, Mass. on May 13, the Packard Cup at Dartmouth on May 20 and the IRA Regatta in Camden, N.J., a three day event beginning on May 31.

Last year, the varsity eight boat took home the Goes Trophy, finished first in the Packard Cup, second in the Conlan Cup, and ninth overall in the I.R.A. Regatta.

The newly printed 400 page / 80 photo hardcover book will be shipped to you direct from the Ingram Press for the cost of $39.95 (this price includes shipping).

This book is an absolute must read for anyone who has pulled an oar for Syracuse. Plan ahead...this makes a great holiday gift!

“Ten Eyck’s varsity crew dashed off to a beautiful start, managed to hold a three foot lead over the Sailors at the first eight mile.
Navy began to come up.
Rammi raised the Syracuse beat.
Stroke for stroke, the two crews races together until a few yards away from the finish, Syracuse with a mighty surge shot out in front by a quarter boat length and won." - Excerpt from Mark of the Oarsmen

What Are You Doing with YOUR Summer?

SU Coaches Dave Reischman, Andrea Buch and Justin Moore ripped it up this past weekend -- riding 50 miles for the Hoosic River Ride (Bennington, VT), followed by several vigorous hours of hiking.

We can be certain of at least three people that will return to campus in shape!

Huge congratulations to SU's Natalie Mastracci who will be representing Canada later this month at the World Championships in Bled. Natalie will be rowing in the W8+. Way to go Natalie!

The only thing that would make this better is if she was rowing for the USA!
