At the top of the list … what snappy nickname will we give this crew of Harry Jon Crispin Photo Parker’s? The “Rude ‘n’ Smooth” of the mid-70’s was the last Crimson crew dynasty, viewed along with those from the late 60’s as the best that Harvard has ever put on the water. In the past two seasons, we’ve called them several things, twice over: undefeated. Sprints champions. National Champions. Most of all, we’ve called them dominant. (Or “almost dominant”, as the stoic Parker referred to his crew’s performance at IRA’s, which is as exuber- ant as the legendary coach may ever get.) But make no mistake – Parker is giving his current eight plenty of credit when asked to put their accomplishments in the proper historical perspective. “On results alone, they have to be mentioned with the best that we have ever had,” he noted for the media in ad- vance of the Harvard-Yale Regatta two weeks ago. Among the accolades includes a sweep of the Men’s heavy and lightweight crews each won the points trophies at the 2004 Sprints major heavyweight events at Sprints, (varsity, 2V, and Championships on May 16.

The award is voted on by the nation’s assistant coaches and is named for the former Yale University and U.S. Olympic Team head coach. Perunovich was 11-25-36 through 40 games for the Bulldogs, putting him fourth in NCAA freshman scoring and the only non-forward in the top eight. He is also eighth in scoring among all defensemen nationally. A strong two-way player, Perunovich is a major rea- son that Minnesota Duluth advanced to this year’s NCAA Frozen Four in St. Paul, MN. “We certainly knew he had the offensive ability and I’m not surprised that he is where he is,” said UMD coach Scott Sandelin. “He does surprise me with some of the plays he makes game in and game out. The big thing is defensively he’s been really good. Overall, it’s probably a little more than we expected as far as the kind of year, but I’m not surprised he’s done what he’s done.” “He’s a special player.
