[RRC] Rivanna rowers rack up more wins at Capital Sprints

[Kevin Sauer]

thanks to all rrc that housed and encouraged this group!


the US women's 8 won decisively at the under 23 world championship 
today in brandenburg, germany.  i couldn't be more proud of this 
group of women from 9 different schools that came together in just a 
month to pull this off.  those gold medals looked really nice!

kelsie chaudoin '08 (third from left in picture in link below) became 
a real force in this boat and her efforts had a lot to do with it's 
success!  augusta stratos '09 was very close to making this very 
successful boat.  amanda chase '09 and marie long '10 both filled in 
at a few practices and did very well. taylor gilmore '09 helped out 
with some seat racing too!

helen tompkins rowed a gutsy race in challenging conditions for 6th 
place in the A final.  her competition included the hungarian woman 
that won bronze in '06, silver in '07 and bronze in '08 and the top 
new scullers for germany and great britain who won gold and silver.

alums schafer bomstein '08 and caitlin mixter '08 as well as the 
chaudoins made the trip to the worlds.  joe recruited as many as he 
could to replace UVA HOOS! with USA!
