Heavy and Lightweight Rowing Heads To The Princeton Chase
10/26/2019 5:24:00 PM | Heavyweight Rowing, Lightweight Rowing
Columbia's heavy and lightweight rowing squads will head to the Princeton Chase for a Sunday, Oct. 27, morning race with the heavyweight's going at 9 a.m. and the lightweight's racing at 10 a.m.
PRINCETON, N.J. – In the final fall race of the season, after a strong showing at the 55th Head of the Charles, both Columbia's heavy and lightweight rowing squads will make the short trip into New Jersey to take part in the Princeton Chase, set to get going on Sunday, Oct. 27 and competed on Lake Carnegie.
Columbia's heavyweights will send three V8 boats, with Alex Herron coxswaining a boat with Ryan Lee (stroke), Henry Quinn-Pasin, Kyle Fram, John Theodore, Punisa Lekovic, Kevin Kearney, Chris Magnani and John Stankard. Joining that boat is the V8 boat of Isabel Guerrero (COX), Ian Low, Tom Mortimer, James Hilton, William Randolph, Sean Aral, Quin Koether, William Ryan and Ryan Hardenbrook and the eight-man collection of Lauren Cohen (COX), Neil Kennedy, Oliver Babb, Robert Doyle, John Tanguay, Cameron Nelson, Michael Lee, Cox and John Baert.
The Lion heavyweights will all take part in the Men's Varsity Heavyweight 8+ in what is a three-mile course that acts as a time trail with the best time winning the race instead of an overall finish and that race is set to get going at 9 a.m.
As for the lightweights, much like their heavyweight counterparts, will send three V8 boats that will all race in the Men's Varsity Lightweight 8+. The first boat will be coxswained by Simon Osak and have Alexandros Zisimidis, Torrance Smith, Curtis Alter, John Robison, Aidan Mahaffey, John Gallagher and Lukas Geiger take to the water.
In the other two boats the Lions will have, Dion Ariestanto (COX), Alex Overmeer, Kevin Borup, Max Amsterdam, Michael Ritter, Levi Beckett, Travis Kennedy III, Tucker Wurtmann and Aidan Norder, while the final boat will see Caroline Yu as coxswain with the boat being made up of Pedro Santos, Jack Hartman, Ricardo Pantaleon, Tucker McMullen, Jake Duffy, Thomas Anderson, Reese Gregory and Owen Cordaro.
Columbia's lightweights will race in the same format as the heavyweights, with their race starting at 10 a.m.
