The student-athletes are back on campus! Last week marked the first week of classes and both the men and women completed opening assessments to benchmark where they are at after summer racing and training. Now it's back to the waters of Onondaga to get in some quality strokes before the head races officially begin in October.

Last week, head coach Dave Reischman officially introduced the latest signing class to join the men's rowing program. The group of fourteen eager young men began their careers as SU student-athletes as classes resumed with the start of a new semester last Monday. The incoming class is expected to have a noteworthy impact on the team as the Orange come off of their best season since 2012 with an overall 15th place team standing at the 2016 IRA Championships and look to keep the momentum going during their 2017 campaign. To learn more about the upcoming student-athletes and some of their impressive accolades and accomplishments click on the link to the cuse.com article above. 

““We are very excited to welcome this exceptional group of young men to our program. We believe they are a nice mix of athletes with international racing experience combined with athletes who possess the raw materials and work ethic to have a substantial impact on our program over the next four years. We can’t wait to get started with them this fall and introduce them to what it takes to be a Syracuse oarsman.””
— Men's Rowing Head Coach Dave Reischman

These men have chosen to bleed Orange and pursue excellence at a university with some of the highest ranked undergraduate programs in the nation as members of one of the most recognized programs in the history of collegiate rowing. The student-athletes are not only exceptionally tall and powerful (with the erg scores and race results to prove it), but have also demonstrated a high level of maturity and experience while racing against elite competitors nationally and internationally. A solid number of the rowers have qualified and competed at the Junior World Rowing Championships. This class represents a strong push towards international recruiting, with athletes hailing from the U.S. and abroad. The men come primarily from along the east coast including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, D.C., Virginia, and Florida, and Ohio in the mid-west. The three international rowers made the journey to Syracuse from the Netherlands and Serbia. 

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. A large contributing factor to this effort has been the Frequent Flyer Miles donated by alumni so that the coaches can travel the globe to meet athletes and make invaluable connections. 

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 men return to the water to prepare for the fall season.

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+.
