The 1995 season was one to remembef for Coach Vertullo and the Girls’ Crew.  Following their impressive fourth place finish at the Stotesbury Cup Regatt and capturing their first Principal’s Cup over Niskyauna, the Crew travelled to Mercer County, N.J. for the Scholastic Nationals.  At the Nationals, the team made history by placing two boats in finals.  The Girls’ Junior Eight placed sixth, while the Lightweight Eight won the bronze.

The 1995 Men’s crew season was one its members will never forget.  The Varsity shell kicked off the racing season with a crushing victory over Liverpool High School, followed by a narrow win over Niskayuna.  Next, the rowers set their sights for the most prestigious of all regattas, the Stotesbury Cup.  It had been nine years since a Varsity mens shell had ever made it to the finals at the Stotesbury Cup.  The season came to a culmination when the Varsity eight boat successfully made it to the petite finals and placed 11th in the nation.  Thiw as Coach Barnum’s first career Stotesbury final race, one that was long overdue.  The success of this Varsity eight, of whom only two were seniors, will be the force which motivates this year’s Varsity to do even better.

The 1994 crew season was an extremely successful one.  After an intense and lengthy training period, the varsity team kicked off the season with a crushing victory over Liverpool High School.  Liverpool was coming off a ten year winning streak.  Another noteable point in their season was a sweep at the Annual Triangular Race.  The team beat out Poughkeepsie and Arlington High Schools to clinch this victory.  The team concluded the season with a two-boat semifinal appearance at Nationals.  The Freshman-8 men’s team rowed as the only Roosevelt delegate at the Finals in Stotesbury.

For all of the local competitors against Roosevelt High School, there seems to be a case of the Travelling Riverside Blues.  The F.D.R. Crew team has dominated the region on all levels, from Varsity to Freshmen.  This success would not have been achieved, however, if they didn’t put 110 percent into each and every practice.  Many hours spent running, lifting weights, and erging seemed to pay off for all of the shells right from the start of the season.  All of this hard work and rigorous training led them to excel at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, Nationals, and the Empire State Games.  Medals were being brought home left and right.  We can only hope to achieve even greater success with this year’s team, which seems to be a very promising one.  As I wish the best of luck to the team this year, I would also like to thank everyone who has supported the Crew team in the past, and we greatly appreciate all of those down by the riverside.

1992

The 1992 season for the Roosevelt crew team was an accomplishment within itself.  Many hours were spent in the weight room, doing pieces on the dreadful Erg and running an infinite number of hills.  However, the hard work and dedication displayed by these skilled athletes soon paid off, earning them a numerous amount of medals.  The men’s Junior eight boat received first place at the Mid-Hudson Triangular meet, edging off both Arlington and Poughkeepsie.  At the same meet, the men’s second Junior shell also managed to power themselves into a first place position.  The girsl four-man shell consisting of Bianca Brehen, Catherine Scanlon, Bree Buckley, Kelly Myers and coxswain Danielle Santoro, won a bronze medal at the Empire State Games showing their true spirit and determination.  We are all excited about the upcoming 1993 season and only hope for it to be even more successful than last year.

As you might have noticed, this era wasn’t big on telling us who was in the pictures.  They just listed the names of people in crew and gave us some pictures.  Just below is the list from the yearbook, under that we’re going to start trying to identify who is who in the pictures.  Help welcome…thanks to Laura Ladd for getting us started.
