SLU men's crew Brewer, Marr earn All-Conference at Liberty League races

Posted

The St. Lawrence University men's crew team competed in a pair of races on Sunday at the 2013 Liberty League Championships in Saratoga, NY. Following the races, Michael Brewer and Ted Marr were selected as individual All-Conference honorees for the Scarlet and Brown.

The Saints had to deal with some misfortune, as the team was forced to jostle line-ups due to illness in the varsity 8+ boat. The varsity 8+ also caught a crab during the race, finishing in fourth place with a time of 6:21.55. The conference championship was won by Hobart College, followed by RIT and Union with Skidmore finishing behind St. Lawrence.

The varsity 8+ included coxswain Audrey Strasenbourgh, Andy Caswell, Francis Stripp, Marr, Jack Riordan, Brewer, Sam Pratt, Talon Lomahquahu and Kyle Benzing.

The St. Lawrence varsity 4+ had an impressive race, finishing second despite having very little time to practice as a unit because of the line-up shuffling. The team, which was comprised of Shelby Hang, Chester Hojnicki, Tom Joyce, Steve Grow and Drew Twitchell, were the runners-up by :05 seconds behind RIT (7:00.01), while Hobart's "A" and "B" boats and Skidmore rounded out the field.

Other rowers who earned individual all-conference honors included Hobart's Jessica Dinan (coxswain) and Robert McNamara, RIT's Chris Massey and Sean Kennelly, Skidmore's Rachel Bowen (coxswain) and Jake Dolegnos and Union's Greg Brenn and Nick Brenn.

St. Lawrence will compete again next weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5, at the 2013 New York State Championships in Whitney Point, NY.
