A regatta in Virginia! Kings Point rowers next head to the Occoquan resevoir in Northern Virginia to compete against mid-Atlantic rowing teams in the Occoquan Chase. Four KP rowers hail from Northern Virginia and we have an opportunity to show off Southern (well sort of Southern) hospitality. The team travels to Sandy Point park Saturday for practice on the water and then stay overnight with parents of Greg Trieber, Brook Mueller, Chris Murphy and Frank Osborne and Giuseppe Niosi's grandparents. Racing starts Sunday after breakfast with sunny but breezy weather predicted.

COASTWEEKS REGATTA
ROWING TEAM CAPTURES A 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD PLACE MEDALS AT THE COASTWEEKS REGATTA
The Kings Point Varsity Women captured first place in the Women's Youth Double in what was their first competition of the fall season. The Men's achieved equal success as it brought home medals in the Open Four and Men's Youth Four.
The Coastweeks regatta is held annually at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic Connecticut. Additionally, the team successfully completed some training on the training vessel Liberator as it was used for transportation to the regatta and for berthing the team while in Mystic.
The women's crew of Toni Birdsong'14, and Brooke Mueller '14 finished first in the Women's Youth Double in what was the first rowing competition for Birdsong who is in her first season of rowing.
The crew of coxswain- Greg Acker '13, Stroke- James Sanwald '11, 3 Seat Connan Ingham '12, 2-Sean Welsh '14, and Bow- Frank Osborne '12, captured second place in the Men's Open Four event. The margin was only eight seconds behind the winning crew of the U.S. Coast Guard. The rowing mariners clocked 7:49 for the 2000 meter course to Coast Guard's 7:41; the equivalent of only 15 feet over the distance of a one and a quarter mile race. Despite losing to Coast Guard, this was a good start for what is expected to be a great fall season for the Varsity Men.
The crew of coxswain-Giuseppe Niosi, Stroke- Frank Romano '14, 3 Seat - Jack White '14, 2 - Seat Greg Trieber '14, and Bow- John Dohring '14 rowed to a third place finish and a bronze medal in the Youth Four event. This was the first time that this Plebe crew has worn the grey and blue in competition. This strong early showing bodes well for what looks like a strong Plebe team.
Also competing for the first time for Kings Point were the crews of:
Men's Open Four Competition
Cox. Niosi/ Michael Kirk '14, Brendan Rohr '13, Garrett Poncin '13, Chris Murphy '13. (4th Place)
Cox. Llewellyn Culas / David Rosas '14/Malek Byam '14, Jorge Jaime '13, John DeMedeiros '14 (6th Place)
Cox. Toni Birdsong/ Kevin Simon '14, William Cullen '14, Matthew Lott '14, Joseph Glywasky '14 (5th Place)
Mixed Double:

Dad Vail Results
WOMEN’S VARSITY FASTEST DIII CREW – MEN’S VARSITY SETS NEW KP RECORD
Dad Vail Regatta- May 7-8, 2010
Largest Collegiate Rowing Regatta
Competing Teams: 112
Athletes: 3800
While the Dad Vail Regatta is considered to be the national championships for small colleges and universities it is open to schools of all NCAA Divisions and indeed many from each division attend. Celebrating its 76th anniversary, the Dad Vail Regatta attracted one-hundred and twelve schools and thirty-eight hundred athletes to this year’s competition. The crews arrived from states as far away as Washington, California, Florida and Maine to battle for medals and the distinction of saying ‘they are the best in the country’. “With as many as forty-nine crews entered in some events, the competition is very intense and that is why we come. We love the challenge”, commented Head Coach Derek Hartwick.
On the first morning of racing the racecourse conditions were ideal for fast times. The women were the first to progress to the next round. The crew of Anna Simons ’12 and Kacey Rohloff ‘12 rowed through the heats and easily into the semi-finals. “We did not have to push it. It was a good race and we are looking forward to the Semis” commented Simons following the early morning race. The crew posted the 12th fastest time amongst 28 crews.
The early morning Semi-finals of the women’s pairs brought with it almost ideal conditions again for the second day. The Kings Point pair was able to stay within striking distant of qualifying for the first half but experienced some steering issues that made it difficult to regain the ground and qualify. The Mariners finished 5th in the Semi and just missed qualifying for the final. Despite the disappointment, they defeated many DI and DII teams and were the fastest DIII crew of the regatta. “It was a good season for this crew; they finished third in the Metros, second in New York and had a very respectable finish here. Their time of 8:22 in the heats was terrific.” relayed Hartwick following the race.
The Men’s Freshman Four of Coxswain David Wong, Stroke Brendan Rohr ’13, 3- Garrett Poncin ’13, 2-Chris Murphy ’13, and Bow- Brad Wood felt that they rowed their best race of the season despite not making it past the first round. “They rowed very well and their time of 7:46 was their best time of the season but unfortunately not fast enough to get into the final round”, remarked Coach Hartwick of his crew. While not qualifying for the finals, the crew did defeat fellow Landmark Conference team Catholic University.
The Kings Point Varsity Men’s Eight Crew of Coxswain-Greg Acker ’13, Stroke - Steven Jones ’10, Charles Waters ’10, Thomas Gambill ’12, Dustin Downing ’13, Connan Ingham ’12, Sam Diedrick ’10, Frank Osborne ’12, and Kyle O’Connor ’10 were ready for the challenge of racing thirty of the best crews in the country. In the qualifying heats, the Mariners set a new Academy record for the 2000 meter distance and improved their previous season best-time by nine seconds as they completed the course in 6:10 and qualified for the quarter-finals.
Encouraged by the potential and enthusiasm of the varsity men, Hartwick and assistant coach Daniel Udeanu embraced the idea of racing in the competitive category of the Varsity Men’s Eight. “It’s a first time for us entering a Varsity Eight, only thirty teams were accepted and we were one of them. We felt really good about this group and they really excelled.” said Hartwick about the varsity men. The early spring races were difficult with the crew trying to gain some speed since nearly half the crew had just returned from four months at sea. As the season progressed, the crew was able to gain momentum and capture a key race. “We were excited to win the Knecht Cup this year. It was a big win and we are proud of that.” said Udeanu. With that victory, the crew charged forward and continued to find its’ speed as it placed well in the NY State championships and amongst the top three in the New York Metropolitan region.
With the caliber of the crews at the Dad Vail regatta, the team knew that it would be quite a challenge to make the final. Undeterred, the crew approached the competition with confidence and a ‘do our best’ attitude. In the heats, the Mariners rowed well and finished within seconds of DI schools Ohio State and George Mason. Qualified for the next round, the crew then set their sights on getting through to the Semi-finals.
As the conditions changed throughout the day on the race course so did the times. Despite a full effort on the part of the Kings Pointers, the crew was unable to match the speed of qualifiers, Georgia Tech and St. Josephs but was only two and a half boat lengths back. In the final tally, the rowing Mariners were the 4th fastest DIII school of the regatta. To the delight of the large crowd of spectators, the Kings Point men decided prior to the race that however they finished, they would do something at the finish to celebrate their successful season. As the crew completed the race, they held the oar to the gunwale with one leg as they raised her hands in the air and cheered wildly. The delighted crowd laughed and cheered as they acknowledged the display of the Kings Pointers’ elation at a season ‘well rowed’.

Knecht Cup Results
The Kings Point Varsity Men’s Rowing team was victorious at the Knecht Cup Regatta in Cherry Hill, NJ over the weekend. In finishing first in the Division II/III Men’s Eight, Kings Point Rowing history was made, the first Kings Poing men's eight title ever at the Knecht Cup. The Men’s freshman crew also had a fine showing as they qualified for the semi-finals in the Men’s Frosh Four. The Varsity Women’s Four had to endure rather rough conditions during its qualifying heat. By mid-afternoon the water had white caps which made racing more of a survival competition than a speed race.
The Knecht Cup Regatta is one of largest spring competitions for college rowing, attracting over 50 schools from Maine to Florida and as far west at Wisconsin. It is the first true test of crews on a large scale. Some of the events have as many as thirty teams competing for top honors.

Varsity Rowing Spring Training Report
The Kings Point Varsity Rowing team has had a busy spring break in Jacksonville Florida. After arriving on Saturday evening, Coach Derek Hartwick and assistant Coach Daniel Udeanu got the crew up early on Sunday for a four hour workout on the St. John's River. Following the workout the twelve team members headed off to an reception hosted by Mason Flint '64 and his wife Karin. Fifty local alumni their families and other sponsors came out to show support for the team.
Since Sunday the team has been rowing twice a day in addition to a daily weight room session. The weather has been superb for the team and everyone is enjoying the sun and warmth after a cold and snow-filled winter at Kings Point.
On Monday, Jonathon Christian '86 arranged for the team to tour the U.S.S. Gettysburg. On Tuesday the team completed Wet Trainer Safety training at the Mayport Naval Station. The team had to use different techniques to plug holes and escape through a water-filled hatch. Everyone felt that it was a great learning experience and team-building activity.
Wednesday will be another day of double sessions of rowing in the morning and then some time off in the afternoon. The Jacksonville Alumni chapter has organized a dinner for the team on Thursday evening.
Coach Hartwick and the team are so pleased to have the support of the local Alumni Chapter and the Florida Parents Association. Both groups have been very generous. The team will continue to to train till Saturday and then return to Kings Point.

Spring Training 2010
Jacksonville, Florida
March 6-13
March 6-13
The USMMA varsity rowers travel to Florida to get a “head up” on the competition that they will face during the sprint racing regattas this Spring. The Jacksonville Alumni Chapter and the Florida Chapter of the USMMA Parents Association sponsors training our rowers on the Arlington River.
Coach Derek Hartwick has again decided to train his team in Jacksonville on the Arlington River. It has often been said that the waters of the Arlington River offer the best conditions for rowing in this region. Coach Hartwick considers Jacksonville to be the team’s Spring training “home.”

Parents from out of town are welcome.
Parents will actually be able to stay on the Navy Base in the same Inn as the team, even if they are not military, as guests of their respective rower who carries a military ID. Great rates, too. Just a little coordinating since we cannot make reservations directly, except if you have your own military ID. Once checked in, the Gateway Inn passes info to the Gate Security so that we will have access on and off. (the first time through will require a sponsor which the Jacksonville chapter will do down here).
Scott and Brenda O'Connor are host once again, (904) 251-3097/(904)545-3179.
