We'd like to briefly congratulate Coach Pearson & Mrs. Pearson on the birth of their new son, Reid Christopher. Reid was born on Thursday, 08/25/11. We are happy to hear that he is healthy and home with his parents and older sister, Tessa.

Congrats Coach & Mrs. Coach!

Interview #2: Coach Zinter '05

The second interview in our HC Summer Rowers series is with Coach Nicholas Zinter, '05. Nick spent his summer as a member of the coaching staff at Penn AC, overseeing the U23/Intermediate Men's Program. In previous summers, he coached in his hometown of Buffalo at West Side Rowing Club (WSRC). Click below to read the full interview!

Interview Piece #1: Zaleski, Prominski, Raiola, & Dwyer

Over the summer, you may have noticed us tweeting about the HC rowers who made the wise decision to row over the summer at various club programs. At their respective programs, they were able to row with and learn from a wide variety of athletes and coaches, and all of them seemed to have a great time doing so! We took a couple minutes to catch up with HC's summer rowers and ask some questions about their summer experiences. The interview, with TJ Zaleski '12, Peter Prominski '13, Steve Raiola '12 and Pete Dwyer '12, is below.


In the coming weeks, as we get excited for the athletes' return to Mount St. James to embark upon a successful 2011-2012 season, Friends of HC Men's Rowing hopes to have the following interviews published: Jordan Traub '14 on his Henley trip, Mike Walker '13 on his captainship, and Al Monte '07 on his promotion to head coach for Bucknell Men's Crew. Keep checking back for those interviews!

Letter from the Coach

We recently sent out an email that contained a letter from Coach Pearson.

We felt it was best to share exclusively with our alumni rather than posting on the blog - if you did not get it, please update your contact information so that we can make sure to get it to you!
