Position: Head men's coach Experience: 29th year College: UC Irvine '67, Washington '79 The Washington crew program is all about tradition. The oars of Husky shells have cut through the water on the Nile, in South America, the Soviet Union, on the Thames in England and across the United States. UW rowing is all about great competitors, great races and great coaches. One of the special traditions of the Husky crew program can be found outside of the coaches’ offices in the Conibear Shellhouse. A series of bronze plaques adorn the hallway, tributes to the great coaches, Hiram Conibear, Al Ulbrickson and Dick Erickson, who have guided Washington rowers to the champions’ podium. Current Husky men’s rowing coach Bob Ernst is a proud caretaker of those special tributes. Some time in the distant future, he is a sure bet to find his image along side those other Husky greats. Like his predecessors, Ernst has guided Husky crews to national championships. He holds one distinction, however, from all other coaches in the country. Ernst has coached both the Washington men’s and women’s teams to national titles. To top those honors, he is also an Olympic gold medal coach.

A Brief History of Lakeside Rowing Frank Cunningham and Dan Ayrault are two of the early founders of the Lakeside rowing program. Frank Cunningham was the stroke for the 1947 Harvard national champion boat. He came to Seattle in 1948 and was one of the coaches who helped to start the Seattle rowing program at Green Lake. In 1963, Frank Cunningham was asked if Lakeside could form a separate crew using the Green Lake shellhouse and with Dan Ayrault as coach. An Olympic gold medalist in 1956 and again in 1960, Dan coached the program for three years. Dwight Gibb, who rowed for Yale, assisted for four seasons. In the spring of 1969, Frank Cunningham took over the Lakeside program. He scouted, secured, and, with the help of his boys, built a boathouse on the present Kenmore site. During the early years, Frank accepted any boat that someone was willing to give. He put in thousands of hours during the next twelve years. Four out of five days every week, Frank worked to rebuild the fleet of cast-off boats. For coaching, he depended on the assistance of Lakeside alumni, at first Peter Phillips and, later, Peter Evans. Frank would row beside the crews in his single to coach. An eight was donated in 1965, and the new Friends of Lakeside Rowing contributed a new four around 1975. The Friends followed this gift with the eight Francis Cunningham and the four Friends II. During the early years of Seattle rowing, there were essentially two programs, Lakeside and Green Lake. In an effort to find good competition, Frank contacted two strong rowing schools in Canada, Brentwood and Shawnigan, and set up dual races. Those dual races have grown into international regattas that attract many of the best of Canadian and American junior programs.

History of MIT Crew Chapter 13 Race Courses The courses used in rowing races always have, and perhaps always will, be as varied as the varied as the nature of the waters used even though in very recent years there has been an attempt to bring about standardized to the man-made Olympic 2000 meters courses. While this may trend of this sort overlooks the factors that brought about the varied distances in the first place. Race courses are as individually unique as people or places without the standardization of mass produced items. Natural water courses have curves, protected stretches, varying water depths and obstacles that make equality impossible, whether it be against time the same variables apply with probably others in addition. The saving grace is that it is a sport and everyone takes their chances on assumption that all are subject to the same opportunities under the umbrella of sportsmanship.

Kelly Jr., a city councilman and brother to Princess Grace of Monaco. Kelly Sr. won Olympic Gold in the single scull in 1920. He also won gold medals in the double scull in 1920 and in 1924, both times with his cousin Paul Costello. But, as a laborer Kelly was barred from entering the Diamond Sculls at the Royal Henley Regatta. It was two decades later, that John B. Kelly Jr. would win that event, in 1947 and 1949. Kelly Jr. won the national singles championship eight times. At the time of his death in 1985, he. was president of the United States Olympic Committee. Under the coaching of such greats as Mike Manning, Dr. Charles W. Riggall, Allan Rosenberg and Dietrich Rose, many other Vesper members have gone on to cumulatively win more national and international races than any club in the United States.

ROWING REPORT Back to NEWS Back to ROWING NEWS Sunday, September 24 Great Britons From Nick Pitt in Sydney Britain's men's eight won an extraordinary gold medal - or rather nine, eight for the oarsmen and one for the cox - in the concluding event of the Olympic regatta at Penrith Lakes, west of Sydney. Earlier, on another incredible day, the quadruple sculls crew won Britain's first-ever women's Olympic rowing medal - a silver - in a thrilling photo finish. The eight were cheered on from the stands by Steve Redgrave, the great Olympian, and even he would concede that their achievement and final effort was something rare and special. Matthew Pinsent, who watched the race from lakeside, said: "I am so happy for them and so very proud to have witnessed this. It was an epic performance. British rowing is at the highest point it has ever been. "This is a fantastic result for British rowing. Having a squad of full-time athletes means we can take talented people and turn them into world-beaters. Lottery money has been vital in helping us to achieve this, and it is vital that the flow continues." The British cox, Rowley Douglas, was ecstatic. "We always said that if we got in front that nobody would be able to catch us. There was a lot of courage shown in that boat. It was a wide open final but nobody else has our belief.

Harrison took charge of the contest in the opening round and increased his advantage in every subesquent round, winning by a 30-16 point decision. But despite the convincing nature of his performance, it was revealed shortly before the bout that the 28-year-old Englishman was suffering from an injured knuckle in his left hand. But he was able to dominate the battle using his right jab and through a debilitating body attack which took its effect on the Kazakhstan fighter during the final round. Harrison started slowly and actually found himself two points down after the first minute of the contest.

In rowing, each rower uses one oar with both hands. In sculling, each sculler uses two oars, one in each hand. Rowing is also known as sweep rowing and the oars as 'sweep oars'. The oars used in sculling are also known as 'sculls'. Please see our Rowing Guide (or a dictionary) for more. What are the "repechages"?

95. Regatta Online - Feature The history of the Olympics is closely intertwined with that that he based his fledglingOlympic Committee on sport of the Olympics, the rowing was cancelled http://www.regatta.rowing.org.uk/121-fiverings.html

Feature Issue 121 - July 1999 The five ringed circus The River and Rowing Museum is planning an exhibition on Olympic rowing to coincide with the Games of 2000. James Felt traces Henley's role in Olympic history and appeals for help Henley is the only place which has hosted the Olympic regatta twice. On both occasions it took place shortly after Henley Royal, with slight alterations of the course. The history of the Olympics is closely intertwined with that of Henley Royal Regatta. Baron de Coubertin, father of the modern Olympic movement and himself a keen sculler, was a guest at the 1891 regatta and was so impressed by its organisation that he based his fledgling Olympic Committee on the Stewards. Included as a founding sport of the Olympics, the rowing was cancelled in 1896 due to gales, so the first Olympic rowing took place in 1900 in Paris. This was reputedly ill-organised, and in 1904 in St. Louis there were barely any European crews rowing. Henley Royal Regatta was the only major annual regatta at the time, so it was logical that the 1908 event would be quite at home there. Nevertheless, the ARA proposed Putney, being in London, the nominated Olympic city. After an outcry by the rowing fraternity (though not by the Stewards who did not wish to interfere). Henley was adopted, and the Olympic regatta was controversially closed to foreign crews that year, a decision taken in 1907. Each participating nation was allowed two crews in each event. Only one foreign crew reached a final, and the medals went to Henley medallists for the most part. Leander's 'old men's' eight saved British blushes in the blue-riband event against the Belgians. Leander contained Guy Nickalls, aged 42, and C.D. Burnell aged 36, in a race rowed at record pace and won by two lengths. Whereas the Belgians, winners of the Grand in 1906 and 1907, agreed that competing at HRR may give them an unfair advantage of having rowed on the Olympic course, Leander trained intensively for weeks on it.

96. History Of Rowing A Brief history of rowing. rowing Association. rowing has been recognized as anOlympic Sport since the games were reinstated in 1896. Unfortunately http://clevelandrowing.org/info/history/history.html

A Brief History of Rowing Rowing has been around for thousands of years. Originally discovered by the Greeks, the idea of attaching an oar to a boat quickly caught on. The Vikings rowed their way around the Atlantic, as is depicted in many rowing cartoons. Of course, in those days, the purpose of rowing was solely transportation, but as time wore on people began to compete against each other to see who could row faster. Rowing began to evolve into the sport we know today during the early 1800’s. In 1829, the first "Oxford-Cambridge" race took place on the River Thames in England between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Ten years later, the infamous "Henley Royal Regatta" began. A major improvement in rowing equipment was made when the rowers of Newcastle on Tyne invented outriggers that allowed the boats to be thinner, yet still allowing the oar to be placed at a useful distance from the rower. Soon after, Matt Taylor created a keel-less shell, which reduced the weight of racing shell significantly. Rowing soon appeared in the United States, highlighted by the first Harvard-Yale race in 1852. A little know fact among most Americans is that rowing was actually the first organized collegiate sport in the US. The first International rowing competition was held in 1869 between Harvard and Oxford. In 1870 an American named J.C. Babcock developed the sliding seat, which allowed rowers to harness the power of their legs with each stroke. Soon after, the US National Association for Amateur Oarsmen was formed to regulate rowing in the United States.

A History of St Catherine's Rowing 1875-1999 by Don Barton, Anu Dudhia and Tony Hancox see below for how to obtain a copy (Extract from St Catherine's Year, 1999 This new book is a comprehensive and fascinating account of rowing at St Catherine's from the earliest days of the Society to the most recent victories of the 1999 crews. The book describes the achievements of Catz rowers in the context of the history of the sport at both Society and College, as well as withing the University and beyond, and including the experiences of those alumni who have found success at national and international level. Published by the College and written by the St Catherine's Rowing Society, the book is intended to appeal to the general reader as well as the rowing enthusiast and includes a chapter by Matthew Pinsent (1989) on the 1992 Barcelona Olympics at which he won his first gold medal. Lord Bullock has written the foreword. (Review by Christopher Dodd in REGATTA , Aug/Sep 2000) St Catherine's College Oxford has published a new edition of its Boat Club history ten years after its first attempt, nearly 300 pages of it. A handsome production it is, too. It records the story of a club which started life in 1874 as a boat club and musical society for non-collegiate students at Oxford. St Catherine's boats have been on the Isis since 1876, whereas the college has only existed since 1962. This book does a lot more than record all the minutiae of the club, and thus might have a wider appeal in college rowing circles. Anu Dudhia writes an excellent potted history of the development of bumps and rowing on the Isis, accompanied by excellent maps. There are also accounts by St Cat's rowers of coxing the Boat Race (Neil Chugani) and taking part in the Olympics (Joanne Gough and Matthew Pinsent) and the Commonwealth Games (Tony Hancox).

Thames Street Wallingford Oxon England History 1947 to 1996 It was 1947. The young men had returned from the war and everywhere people's thoughts had turned to peacetime pursuits. The only organised boating on the Wallingford stretch of the Thames until this time had been the Wallingford Skiff Regatta which had taken place every peace-time year since the late 1890s. To many people the river was the very symbol of peace, so it was natural that the Skiff Regatta Committee should decide to investigate the possibility of starting a rowing club. They promised £100 for the purchase of boats and set up a sub-committee consisting of Tim Wilder, John Hoddinott and Barney D'Abbs. Two aged clinker fours with fixed seats and fixed pins, and a tub pair were purchased from Henley Rowing Club, and Tim's father promised the loan of Lower Wharf Boathouse for one year, rent free. On Friday 14th November a meeting was held at a packed Town Hall where officers and committee were elected and Wallingford Rowing Club was born. One of the statements at this meeting was "if the Club wishes to flourish, these limited amenities will have to be improved", which is as meaningful now as it was then. It was noted at the time that three members had moderate skill at rowing, one had knowledge of coxing, and twenty three had no experience of rowing at all.
