Head Coach Marc Mandel, Assistant Aliyah Snyder, and the oarsmen of the Henley Eight: Johannes Schmidt '09 (cox), Alex Casey '11, Jack Devlin '09, Richard Johnston '09, Greg Beckwith '09, Peter Prominski '09, Jake Brennan '09, Denis Leahy '10, Joe Hanlon '10 and spares Nick Jones '10 and Christopher Williams '10 send their deep appreciation, from the bottom of their purple crew hearts, for your incredible generosity and overwhelming enthusiasm in sending them to Henley-on-Thames on Oxfordshire, UK! With over 200 people contributing to a fundraising effort that lasted just four short weeks, the team has exceeded their $50k fundraising goal. Hail to you, friends of Gonzaga Crew!
The team left on Monday evening, June 22 to begin their great journey. Tune-in to the website for further updates, but in the meantime, you may want to check out the following:
The team was interviewed on WJLA ABC TV 7 on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 in a terrific piece ...make sure you watch this to see how much the team appreciates your support WJLA video
We still have some Henley polo shirts (size small and medium only) available for $75 (they run a little large) and some Henley tee shirts ($50...true to size, all sizes) available for sale. Bill Hummel's terrific video which shows pictures and videos from many of Gonzaga's crews, "From the Anacostia to the Thames! Gonzaga Crew 1995-2009" is also available for $25. If you would like any of these, contact Karen Stewart and they can be mailed out to you.
Thanks again for your amazing support...and Go Eagles!
June 14, 2009 Alumni Row Update
Three boats of alumni and current crew members faced the Henley Eight on a shortened course on the Anacostia. Most of the Alumni came ready to row, and despite their best effort to get an advantage at the start (aka: cheat) they could not beat the well trained, cool-as-cucumbers Henley Eight! Many thanks to Lynn Pelkey, Susan Sedgewick, Judy Stack and their families for hosting this incredibly fun event. And thanks too to Doug Stewart for these great pictures.

but had a great showing considering the heat and back to back racing!
