Welcome to the Orange Family, Class of 2020!

Last week, head coach Justin Moore officially introduced the latest signing class to join the women's rowing program. With the start of a new semester just weeks away, a group of fourteen eager young women will set foot on campus to embark on their careers as SU student-athletes. The incoming class is expected to have a noteworthy impact on the team as the Orange come off of an overall 13th place team standing at the 2016 NCAA Championships and look to keep the momentum going during their 2017 campaign.

This group of 14 women has the potential to have a major impact on our team from the moment they step foot on campus. Averaging just under 5-11 as a group and combining national-championship level rowing with a tremendous amount of raw athleticism, we are very excited to help them develop throughout their careers at Syracuse. They are disciplined, gritty, dedicated to their academics, and committed to advancing our program into the national top 10.
— Women's Rowing Head Coach Justin Moore

These women have chosen to bleed Orange and pursue excellence at a university with some of the highest ranked undergraduate programs in the nation as members as one of the up and coming names in the collegiate rowing field. The group is a collection of outstanding competitors who Moore believes embodies the traits of successful oarswomen. Aside from being one of the most physiologically capable recruited classes with the height, power, and racing results to prove it, these young women have already demonstrated leadership, raw athleticism, technical skill, maturity, fearlessness, emotional poise, energy, academic excellence, determination, and desire. These are the types of qualities it takes to shine both athletically and academically at Syracuse and will ultimately serve the women well beyond their collegiate experiences. The rowers hail from across the U.S. and abroad, representing the states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Washington, and New Hampshire, and the countries of Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. The coaching staff continues to recruit the highest level of talent both nationally and internationally as they build a roster with the depth and strength to compete with the top collegiate programs in the country. 

We here at SARA are incredibly excited to continue following these student-athletes as they develop and grow and the program as a whole as the women return to campus to get back to their studies and training at the end of the month.

Glaude, Tavares, and Taylor to Compete at U23 World Rowing Championships

Three Orange rowers will compete at the U23 World Rowing Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands at the end of the month representing three different countries. Mike Glaude will race the men's double (2X) for the United States, Nick Tavares will race the men's four with coxswain (4+) for Canada, and Hattie Taylor will race the women's four without coxswain (4-) for Great Britain. The athletes were named to their respective teams earlier in the summer and have been training to compete against the top athletes in the world age 22 or younger. The international regatta will take place from August 21st-28th and will simultaneously host the Junior, U23, and Senior (non-Olympic) events for the first time due to the Olympic year. 

Mike Glaude

M2X, USA

Glaude will make his international rowing debut as the stroke of the US U23 double with partner Mike Yaron. The duo automatically qualified for the national team by winning the final of the U23 double sculls during the Worlds Trials held on Lake Mercer, July 20th. They crossed the finish more than 7.5 seconds ahead of the second place crew to earn the opportunity to represent the U.S. The rising junior began his rowing career at Syracuse and in only a couple of years has developed into a strong athlete capable of competing on the international stage. The accomplishment is impressive as Glaude rowed in the third varsity eight throughout the spring season, rowing primarily in sweep boats. It will be exciting to see what he takes back with him from this invaluable experience. 

nick tavares

M4+, CAN

This won't be rising sophomore Tavares's first time racing at the international level, but it will be his first time competing as Under-23. The Ontario native has rowed for Canada at the World Rowing Junior Championships too. He competed in Hamburg, Germany in 2014 placing 18th in the junior men's double (2X) and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (to test out the Olympic course) in 2015 placing 7th in the junior men's quadruple sculls (4X). The elite racing experiences certainly seemed to help Tavares with the transition from scholastic to collegiate rowing. During his first year at Syracuse, Tavares was a mainstay in the top boat - the Varsity 8+, which had its most successful season since 2012. Along with fellow international Alex Douglas (AUS), he set the precedent of rowing in the top boat for the entire season as a freshman which had never been done before.

hattie taylor

W4-, GBR

Taylor has also competed at the international level before. Last year, she made her first appearance at the U23 World Rowing Championships where she and her crew raced to a bronze medal finish in the women's eight. Hattie has consistently been in the top Varsity eight at Syracuse since 2015. She played a critical role in helping the team have one of its most successful seasons in over a decade, including a 12th place finish at the NCAA Championships in the 1V8+.

Open Water Win for Syracuse's Varsity 8+

cuse.com article

The then ranked No. 18 Orange were victorious in the Varsity 8+, upsetting EARC rival No. 12 Wisconsin in their season opener dual on April 9th. Syracuse's top boat won convincingly with an open water lead over the Badgers. Wisconsin finished first in the second varsity and third varsity races.

We're back home and fighting for our water ~ Coach Moore takes the ice 2015 ❄️❄️@row2k

A video posted by Syracuse Women's Rowing (@surowing) on

The regatta was hosted by Wisconsin in Skokie, IL, just north of Chicago. Our very own SARA President, Joe Paduda voiced the live audio broadcasts throughout the morning. Races were contended in a narrow straight-away or an industrial canal that protected the crews from a 9-11mph tailwind. It was a beautiful, sunny day and despite the freezing 26 degree temperature, some men braved the cold in only a uni or short sleeves on their way to the start. Sure enough, the conditions were nothing compared to what the rowers had handled in the past. Last year the dual race was hosted by Syracuse on Cayuga Lake in Ithaca. Remember how much ice there was on Onondaga then?!

We talked more about every stroke the attitude being that just another inch, just another inch. It is not a power crew, but it is a crew that will do their work over the race course. They are grinders.
— Coach Dave Reischman

In 2015, Syracuse defeated Wisconsin in the second varsity competition, but had to hand over their Orange shirts to the Badgers in the first and third varsity events. This year, the Varsity 8+ was the highlight of the morning. Following the win, Paduda caught up with Varsity coxswain, sophomore Dom Santora for a recap. Off the line Syracuse reached a rate of 45spm, but Wisco began stronger, gaining a three-seat lead. The Orange then settled into their Syracuse rhythm at 36spm and focused on their race. Staying composed, the Orange began to pull away around the 1,000m mark, moving up to Wisconsin's three-seat and then bow-seat in the third 500m. Heading into the final 500m, Syracuse had a slight open water advantage, and continued widening the gap with 250m to go, gaining control of the outcome as they bumped the rating for the final sprint. Syracuse crossed the line in 5:42.7, 7.5 seconds ahead of the Badgers who clocked 5:50.2. Overall, it was a solid race. Despite tremendous efforts in the second varsity, Syracuse was unable to overtake Wisconsin's lead and crossed the finish 8 seconds back, while the third varsity finished 10 seconds behind the Badgers.
