Rowing Varsity 8+ at Barry-Nova First Annual Dual

NSU's women's rowing team participated in the first annual Barry-NSU Dual Race on April 4 in Miami Beach, Fla., where the Sharks made up for a disappointing performance in the Fall season of 2008, crushing Barry University's Buccaneers in both the Varsity 8+ and Open 4 races.

Senior Amber Bishko of the V8+ jokingly stated, "My goal all week was to make Barry's V8+ cry once we crossed the finish line before them."

The Sharks' Open 4+ "A" and "B" boats finished first at 8:04.08 and second with a time of 8:07.74, respectively, with Barry trailing 30 seconds behind.

The "A" boat consisted of freshman coxswain, Heather Clayton; senior stroke seat, Lauren McElhenny; followed by freshmen Claire Kurlycheck, Bridget Musto and bow, Christie McElhenny. The "B" boat followed close behind as junior coxswain, Natalie Chaiser, kept her crew consisting of freshman Ericka Wenzke, junior Megan Kim, freshman Ivan Gagula and junior Carolina Ricchi, going strong.
