Silver Medal for Gennaro at World Championships

Mike Gennaro '11 and his US straight four took the silver medal and, as the commentators said, "challenged the British bid for domination." (The British were the prohibitive favorites going into the race.) Results are posted at worldrowing.com.

Before the race, Gennaro posted on Facebook: "Racing in the A Final of the World Championships tomorrow against the Netherlands, Great Britain, Australia, Greece, and Canada. We race at 2:33pm local time, 8:33 EST. Live video can be found atwww.worldrowing.com. I don't really know how to explain my gratitude and appreciation towards everyone who supports my teammates and I and what we do. It's an extremely long year for such a short race, and I wouldn't be able to do this without everyone's support. I love my parents, siblings, family, my Syracuse family ‪#‎OrangeNation‬, Prep family, teammates and coaches past and present, the WFR boys. Thank you so much."
