Returning and rising leaders must continue to hold each other accountable for us to maximize our potential. The ceiling is only limited to what we are willing to endure as part of the process.

2010 Outlook - "The Varsity Men’s squad is developing quite nicely. Leadership is emerging as the daily work ethic defines the basis for selection the Varsity 8, the Varsity Lightweight 8, the Junior Varsity and a Varsity 4. The squad is still 38 strong including 3 coxswains. Like the coxswain’s group, all sophomores, many younger rowers are inserting themselves into the top of the squad. The young are eager and excited to give their energy to the Varsity 8 and Varsity Lightweight 8 crews and love to be stirring the soup. The young learn quickly from the senior and juniors.

"The heavyweight seniors, Pat Schultheiss, Pete Fovargue & Dan German, who have experienced wins at the Vails in the Varsity 8 are nurturing the sophomores and juniors. Workout attendance during the off the water training is an indicator of the commitment of the crew. Outside the 'walking wounded' group, about 4-6 depending on the day, attendance has been very good. Junior Mike Gregg and Senior Dan German are both dealing with significant injuries. Dan’s perplexing injury has him as still questionable by Spring Break. Mike’s recovery is going well and he should be ready by Spring Break. Combine the attendance with the strong work ethic means the fight for a seat is “on” for the top 8s. Club President, Adi Merchant and juniors Brendan Mueller, Scott Harman , and Eric Nielson are certainly stepping up their game for the Varsity 8. The sophomores are lead by the crew’s top “erg-man” Jon Solan. Along with Jon, Jason Kovanda, Shane Branscum, Seth Binder, Kyle Fithian, Andrei Dubitsky and Spencer Deig are all knocking on the door.

"The lightweight squad group is also sophomore ladened. Will Zander, Nathan Class, Ted Grewe, Joe Katz join seniors Brandon Reese, Robert Malarky, Luke Keiser and junior Ben Hall to be the core of the lightweights.

"The spring racing season is very near even though there is another 6 weeks of off the water training most likely. By Spring Break, March 12, the squad should have sorted itself pretty well. Spring Break will be the final selection and confirmation of the two top 8s. Spring Break will also be the very quick preparation for the annual duel race with Marietta College. In fact, Purdue’s return trip from Clemson will be through Marietta for this competition.

"Sustaining high work ethic, attendance and the drive to meld into one is critical to this team’s success. The varsity is well on the road to achieving those goals. This season has all the prospects of some very good racing and some really great performances."

Winning on the water and in the class-room are top priorities. The attitudes are good, minds are strong, and morale is high. A successful spring season looks to be on the horizon."

2010 Seniors -

2010 Outlook - "The varsity women are in a stable position to jump from as they look towards the spring. They began the fall focusing on blade work and power per stroke. The progress they made led to successful head racing experiences with each boat combining strength and technique to propel their shell down the race course. The consistency they found in the fall will help them build the speed they need to continue their competitiveness in the spring season. With a solid group of 27 women and a strong senior class leading the team, standards have been set high. Their goals concentrate on building consistency, endurance and power throughout winter training and transforming that into boat speed when they enter the spring. They are ready for the challenges the spring racing schedule will bring. Knowing that the competition will be tough they are pushing themselves that little bit extra every day. It will be exciting to get back on the water and see how much speed they are able to produce and who they will challenge come race time."
