2011 Outlook
"With complete focus on perfection the team is preparing to face a very ambitious and difficult competitive racing season; one that demands respect. We must replace several great GVSU athletes from last year. The members of last year's 2V and successful F/N eights are working hard to fulfill those roles. In order to prepare for our spring schedule we followed a very innovative and challenging winter training program developed by Grand Valley's Director of Rowing, John Bancheri, which helped us to improve physically, mentally and technically.

"The trust the GVSU athletes have in one another is unequaled and we feel we are working very hard to 'earn the right' to compete. We feel we have within us all the qualities needed for success."
-Head Coach Dennis Kamrad

  • Varsity 8: 8th at Dad Vail, 6th at ACRAs, 8th at HOCR

2011 Outlook
"Going into the spring season the core of the varsity is a group of determined juniors and sophomores, who will continue to define themselves throughout the year. The juniors particularly have done well in bringing up the new sophomore class, and many guys will be fighting for the eight seats in the 1V.

"We begin our spring racing season with our home race, the Lubbers' Cup, with first-time guests Brock University, the US Coast Guard Academy, and the University of Virgina, in addition to several regional competitors including Michigan, Notre Dame, MSU and Ohio State. The MACRA regatta will serve as our regional championship, being combined with the Indianapolis Invitational, leading up to our two championship races of the Dad Vail and the ACRA. We look to extend our three-year Team Points victories an additional year in 2011."
-Head Coach John Bancheri
