2011-2012 Season Highlights
Columbus, OH
Saturday, Oct. 15th
Traveling to Columbus for the Speakmon Memorial Regatta is one of the highlights of the fall season.
We loaded up all of our boats and students on Friday to travel to Grigg's Reservoir, just 15 minutes
from the Ohio State University campus to compete against 52 other rowing clubs.
Wind was the force to be dealt with as race day brought 20 to
30 mile an hour gusts; creating a challenge for the rowers, but it did not hamper the race schedule.
Upper St. Clair put in a great showing with the following notable results:
- Women's HS Lightweight 4+ placed third for a Bronze Medal!
- Men's HS 4+ (A) placed 5th overall out of 25 entries, and 1st among the high schools (non-clubs).
- Men's HS Novice 4+ (A) & (B) boats placed 14th and 24th out of 33 entries!

and photos.
For a weekend bonus, two USC Crew alumni were present as Paul Henning (OSU Freshman - Men's Crew) was seen
working the launch docks and Victoria Lazur (OSU Freshman - Women's Crew) was seen taking first place in the
Collegiate Women's 4+ race as the Coxswain for the OSU Women's Varsity A boat!
Pittsburgh, PA
Saturday, Oct. 1st
USC Crew Takes Gold!
In addition to dealing with a new format for the Head of the Ohio (HOTO) Regatta and 600 boats on the island,
the weatherman picked THIS weekend to be right!
The forcast was for temperatures in the 40's, and with 80% humidity and 90% chance of rain, feeling like 30's. The 82 teams, representing
82 cities in 14 states, that crowded onto Washington's Landing were treated to classic Pittsburgh weather with a steady rain and dropping
temperatures throughout the day. The weather didn't dampen USC's spirits, however, and the team rowed excellent races. Notably:
- Men's Varsity 4+ snagged a gold medal in the scholastic race, beating out St. John's Jesuit(Toledo),
Central Catholic, and Mt. Lebanon.
- Men's Novice 4+ received a bronze medal; finishing less than 2 seconds behind the second place boat from
St. John's Jesuit (Toledo).
- Men's Novice 8+ pulled a very respectable 4th place; just 3 seconds behind St. John's Jesuit (Toledo) and
9 seconds behind South Niagara

Toledo, OH
Saturday, Sept. 24
The team was once again, graciously hosted in Toledo, OH by the Henning and Stough families,
allowing us to enjoy a beautiful evening by the pool after unloading equipment and boats and
a good night's sleep before race day. A cooler morning, however, brought a dense fog off of
the Maumee River as we struggled to see downtown Toledo on the opposite side of the river
from our race vantage point.
Finally, the fog began to lift after a nearly 3 hour regatta delay and the two Upper St. Clair
Men's Varsity 8+ boats kicked things off with a 12th place and a 5th place finish. And the
2011-2012 season is ON! A quick lunch got everyone ready for the afternoon as the
sun came out and the air warmed up.
In the afternoon, Paul VanRyzin lead a USC Men's 4+ to a 7th place finish (out of 26) with
a time of 19:28 for the 6000m course, just a minute off of the first place boat from St. Ignasius,
Chicago. Adam Puccetti's Men's 4+ placed a respectable 22nd in that same race. Liz Alther and
the USC Women's HS 4+ wrapped up our day of racing with a 25th place finish out of 32. Their
finish contradicted how well their shell seemed to glide across the water. All in all, it was
a great day of racing, and we're looking forward to some great racing at HOTO and Speakmon.
