WOMEN'S ROWING - PAIR CAPTURES GOLD AT THE NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
MEN'S PAIR FINISHES STRONG WITH A BRONZE MEDAL
Kings Point Rowing captued two medals and place two additional crews in the finals in the first day of competition at the New York State Rowing Championships. Both the Vasity Men' Four and Frosh Men's Four will battle for more medals on the second day of competition.
The Women's Varsity Pair of Anna Simons '12 and Kacey Rohloff '12 had a rocky start to their pair final when the steering wire broke in the first few strokes of the race. Without the steering device, bow-rower Rohloff had too rely on her rowing skills and the strength of this seasoned crew to go straight down the 2000 meter race course. The Kings Pointers battled with Geneseo for the first 1000 meters until Simons and Rohloff decided to put the hammer down and pull away from the competition. Gaining over 40 seconds in the final half of the race, the women rowed to a fast time of 9:12 for the mile and a quarter.
Although the Men's pair of Brad Webster '09 and Erik Henden '09 have not rowed the pair for weeks, they were still able to bring it home for Kings Point against tough competion. The winning crew of Rochester, was able to get a slight lead after 500 meters over the field. The Mariners were able to keep contact with the ultimate winner and 2nd place crew of Vassar but not able to gain the lead. Holding off a late charge by Geneseo, Kings Point was able to keep the Bronze medal placing and finish just two lengths off first place. Both Webster and Henden will battle for medals in the second day of finals as the stern pair in the Varsity Men's Four.
Additionally, the Men's Frosh Four will be held on the second day of racing. Kings Point shows great potential to win more metal for Kings Point.
