  • “Boys in the Boat” - Scenes in Seattle
    “Boys in the Boat” - Scenes in Seattle Many guests visiting Seattle these days have read the recent best-selling book The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown. This fascinating non-fiction book is about the University of Washington crew team that overcame great odds to get to Germany and win the 1936 Olympic gold medal. Spend an afternoon exploring north Seattle and see some highlights from the book. Drive by historic Roosevelt High School, where team member Joe Rantz graduated, walk the nearby, beautiful University of Washington (UW) campus, see the original winning shell built by George Pocock, rent a boat at the UW Waterfront Activities center during the nicer weather months, and make a stop at a local favorite, Agua Verde, for lunch or cocktails and maybe a kayak rental. University of Washington, www.washington.edu UW is also known as U-Dub to the locals. This university enrolls 45,000 students, and the main entrance is located at 17th Ave. NE and NE 45th Street. Its western border is Lake Washington and the southern border is the Montlake Cut, which is the body of water connecting Lake Washington and Lake Union, and where the UW crew team used to row. UW Waterfront Activities Center, https://www.washington.edu/ima/wac/ This building was originally a seaplane hangar built by the Navy in WWI and became the Canoe House which was where the original 1936 crew team practiced. It is now open to the public during the nicer months of the year and is used as a canoe and rental facility.

  • The Season Preview
    VOLUME TWELVE • MARCH 2014 THE WASHINGTON ROWING QUARTERLY THE SEASON PREVIEW Mission of the Washington Rowing Stewards: To engage and connect alumni and friends of Washington Rowing in order to support the current athletes and coaches in the pursuit of their goals. 2 A Letter From The Stewards Racing season is upon us! Many of us can’t wait to see white blades roll through the cut, and to see both familiar and new faces catch a signature Washington closing sprint. April brings us great rivalry races with Brown visiting in early April, and Washington State and Stanford visiting us the week after. For Opening Day, we’re visited by Great Britain. We’re hoping that Husky fans and Seattle will bring our version of the 12th (10th?) man to both sides on Montlake! We recognize that sometimes getting out to watch can be a special effort that involves a little rain gear! As such, the program is making an extra effort to make the overall race experience more enjoyable with investment and organization. It’s hard to improve on one of the best natural rowing amphitheaters in the world, but we’ve decided to do so in a couple of key ways: We’re most excited about the ability to provide an audio call of the races this year. While we all enjoy scrambling for the twitter feed, speculating on who’s in front, or looks to be tiring, nothing will compare to standing on the shore at the canoe house or finish line and being able to hear a coach or announcer call the race.

    VOLUME EIGHT • SPRING 2012 THE WASHINGTON ROWING QUARTERLY IN THIS ISSUE: WHAT HUSKY ROWING MEANS TO ME CLASS DAY WEEKEND HUSKY FAN GUIDE TO SPRING RACING YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD VBC BANQUET CLASS OF 2012 PRESEASON SCOUTING REPORT What Husky Rowing Means to Me This quarterly feature, first suggested by men’s head coach, Michael Callahan, has become an instant hit. More than a few Huskies have responded with personal thoughts on the impact the program had on them. Here are two examples. The experience of Liz Simenstad and Glen Love were separated by six decades but their underlying theme remains the same: the Washington rowing program experience has the power to shape lives and to become a permanent touchstone for living life well. Third Boat Memories - by Glen Love ‘54 We appreciated the following submission because it speaks directly to one of Washington rowing’s great strengths: its depth. The men and women who do not fill varsity seats during their student years have always been a crucial part of the team’s success. And most of the lower boat student ath- letes, as this piece suggests, graduate with great love for Husky rowing, the central part they played in it, and the way it shaped their lives. Glen’s submission to Sweep is part of a memoir on which he is currently working. Down at the shellhouse, I was now rowing with my fellow sopho- mores on the varsity with the juniors and seniors, and proud to be there in the best rowing program in the country.

  • SEASON REVIEW Stewards’ Letter Off the Water
    VOLUME TWENTY TWO • JULY 2017 THE WASHINGTON ROWING MAGAZINE SEASON REVIEW Stewards’ Letter Off The Water Get to know Assistant Women’s Coach & Lead Recruiter Josh Gautreau Josh Gautreau joined Washington Rowing in July 2016. Previously he was the assistant coach at the University of Virginia. Gautreau began rowing at Syracuse University, where he graduated in 2006 with a degree in physics. He is currently working toward a master’s degree in exercise science. What’s surprised you most about Seattle? The seaplanes. I’ve rowed everywhere and navigated many waterways, but an obstacle coming from the sky is a new one for me! Have you discovered a favorite restaurant in Seattle? The best burger I’ve ever had is from Rain City Burgers. My son, Boden, really digs their milkshakes, and my wife, Cat, loves that they serve sweet potato fries. It’s a family favorite. What do you like to do in your free time? Free time? What’s that?! JK. Many evenings Cat, Bode and I hop on bikes and ride the Burke Gilman to a beach or a park or the Ballard locks. On weekends we have been exploring the islands. If you could choose one outdoor activity (besides rowing) in Seattle what would it be and where would you go? Climbing mountains in the North Cascades. This is by far my Friends, favorite endeavor outside of rowing and coaching. I find the It seems gratuitous to fill this space with words when just challenges to be one in the same—pursuing big goals through two will do.

  • Spring 2019 Season Preview Stewards’ Letter
    Spring 2019 Season Preview Stewards’ Letter Dear Friends, In January our program received a sharp and sudden blow in the loss of our biggest supporter, Blake Nordstrom, ‘82. A third generation retailer who started in the stock rooms and on his hands and knees helping customers don new shoes, Blake showed all of us the meaning of service. The University of Washington Rowing Program was one lucky recipient of this tireless ethic and of his generosity. At his beautiful memorial service, Blake’s friend and colleague Phyllis Campbell spoke about three of Blake’s attributes: Heart, Humility and Hope. Later, his daughter presented us with a card she found in his wallet which he kept for years reading ‘EXTEND YOURSELF.’ As we shake our heads thinking no one can replace Blake, we are right. But what about it? Look around at our Rowing Stewards: Heart: Who has more heart for this team than Eric Cohen? Humility: Is there anyone who serves with more humility than Betsy Beard? Hope: Who has more optimism than Noelle Broom or Dwight Phillips? So, it occurred to us that our Husky rowing angel is up there presenting us with a challenge to ‘EXTEND OURSELVES.’ No one is going to replace Blake, but we, collectively, are going to take over where he left off. We have the talents, the service, the strengths, the passion, the knowledge and the connections. Each of us is more than capable of extending ourselves and filling a gap to take this program ahead. And we are not alone. This past year, we have witnessed what this program has both on the team and in the alums: • The epic race in the women’s four at NCAA, where our women left it all absolutely on the line against Cal.
