USC Takes Second Place Overall at the Pittsburgh Indoor Rowing Championships !
The USC Crew Team competed this weekend at the Pittsburgh Indoor Rowing Championships (PIRC) at Central Catholic
High School. Rowers compete in various divisions on stationary rowing machines, all synchronized to simulate a
head-to-head 2000 meter race. The team came away with three individual medals, including two Gold medals for
Junior Tori Lazur (Girls team captain) and Junior Phil Williams, as well as a Bronze medal for Senior Megan Wholey.
Individual results contribute to team points, determining an overall team score. USC took second place behind
Central Catholic out of 16 competing high schools including Hampton, North Catholic, Pine-Richland, Mercyhurst
Prep, Shaker Heights, Fox Chapel, and Mt. Lebanon.

Columbus, OH
The day started out in the high fifties and dropped steadily all day long for a very chilly regatta. Novice Boys 4+
started out the day finishing 31/35 followed by the Novice Girls 4+, finishing 25/31. Our own Jess Michalak,
Girls Varsity and JV coach competed in the Mixed Masters 8+ taking 3rd for a bronze medal. After noon, as
temperatures continued to drop, Women's Varsity 4+ turned in a respectable 25 place finish in a field of 43. USC Men's
Varsity 4+ finished 8th overall (5th in the high school standing) and just 12 seconds out of a high school medal.
The USC JV Mens finished 36th in that same event. The day finished a chilly 40 degrees with the USC Women's
Varsity 8+ beating out all of the entered Pittsburgh teams for a 21st place finish in a field of 36.
USC Men's Varisty 8+ wrapped up our day of racing with a 21st place finish out of 32 entries. All-in-all, a great day
of racing on Grigg's Reservior for Upper St. Clair!
Saturday, October 3rd
Two days of rain cleared off for a nice day but left the banks a muddy mess.
Mixed results with only 4 crews getting out to
compete before the race was called due to high winds in the middle mile.
Best result of the day was the Boys Varsity 4+ (A)
which placed 10th out of 37, only 10 seconds out of a high school medal. The Girls Varsity 8+, Boys Varsity 4+ (B), and
Boys Novice 4+ also competed in the morning.

Toledo, Ohio
The USC Crew Team upper classmen competed at the
Frogtown Races in Toledo, OH.
This was a GREAT venue for the head races with 7 entries from Upper St. Clair among 24 other high school entries from
Illinois, Indiana Michigan, and Ohio. USC did not place in any events,
but it was a good race day and we gained valuable insight and motivation for the rest of the season.
Still Recruiting for our
2009-2010 Season
The USC Crew Team is looking for dedicated high school students for another
outstanding season of competitive rowing. If you are an incoming Freshman
or a returning Sophomore, Junior, or Senior, give crew a look! We have a Fall,
Winter, and Spring season and there's no bench! Everyone, even
beginning (novice) rowers compete on the water against similarly skilled rowers
from high schools in Pennsylvania, Ohio, WV, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois.
For more information, contact
USC Crew.
