As a parting note for this year, the club would just like to thank the committee for their outstanding hard work and dedication to making this a great year for everyone!
As well, a shout out to our seniors: It's been a good run, and we'll miss you! Don't be scarce-- we hope to see you down by the boathouse and on the bank cheering us on in our future endeavors!
Lastly, we'd like to thank Yuriy for his generousity and hardwork in coaching this team. Thanks! We appreciate everything you do!
For anyone who will be around Richmond this summer, I'd like to invite you to join the VBC so we can continue rowing in the awesome summer sun! For more information, e-mail the captain's account or check out the VBC Website here.
Have a great summer everyone!!

Dad Vail Regatta 2009
This year saw the VCU Men's Varsity IV go on to compete at Dad Vails in Philadelphia, PA. Dad Vails is the largest collegiate regatta in the United States.
Our boys pushed hard and they came 20th in the time trials-- missing the qualifying 18th position by only 1 second!
However, the row was solid, and as a show of their effort and determination, they also beat big names such as John's Hopkins, Vassar, Boston College, Amherst, Temple, NC State, Drexel, NY Maritime, Michigan, and George Mason.
Well done, guys! What a way to end the season!
Crew:
Cox- Crystal Tamayo
Str- Paul Burgess
3- Matt Auer
2- Jordan Dodson
Bow- Bill Weirich

Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Crew Championships 2009
It was a wet one!
This year's Mid-Atlantics were virtually under water instead of on it. The heavy rain started early in the morning and didn't cease by the time we packed up shop and left Northern VA for the final time in Spring Season '09.
Unfortunately, we didn't bring home any medals this year. Rain and fate conspired against us on that one with some unfortunate mishaps that resulted in missed races and opportunities from some crews. However, on the water all crews gave their best efforts. It was a bitter-sweet ending to the year.
While that sees the final race for the club this season, the Men's Varsity 4+ has one more race up their sleeves for next weekend-- Dad Vails. We wish them the best of luck! Go VCU!
