OLDEST COLLEGIATE COMPETITION RENEWED SATURDAY
Yale Rows Against Harvard for 138th Time

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — It is the oldest collegiate athletic competition. Sports Illustrated named this event the most venerable rivalry in college sports. There have been 137 meetings since 1852. There are three rowing competitions, one of which is the longest race anywhere. It’s the Yale-Harvard Regatta (a.k.a. THE Boat Race), and the next one is Saturday, June 7, on the Thames River in New London, Conn., marking 125 years since the first running at that site.

THE SCHEDULE
The freshman two-mile sprint is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by the three-mile junior varsity race at 11:15. The featured four-mile varsity race should launch at 12:15 p.m. All races are upstream and will finish at Bartlett’s Cove. In the event of inclement weather, the races may be postponed until Sunday, June 8. In that case, the freshman race will begin at 7 a.m., followed by the JV race at 7:45 and the varsity race at 8:45.

RACE HISTORY
The country’s first intercollegiate sporting event occurred in August of 1852, when the Yale and Harvard crews set out on a two-mile race on Lake Winnepesaukee in New Hampshire. The Crimson won that inaugural race and has since built an 83-53 varsity advantage in the Regatta series. The longest win streak by either school is Harvard’s 18-year string from 1963 to 1980. The second longest was 11 years (Harvard 1985-96). Yale’s longest streak is six, done twice around the turn of the century (1892-98, 1900-05). New London has hosted the Regatta on all but five occasions since 1878.

COMPARING VARSITIES
The Yale varsity (2-6 record) enters the regatta ranked 17th in the national poll compared to Harvard’s (6-0) standing at No. 1. Harvard won the national championship at the IRA Regatta, while Yale took 15th overall with a finish of 3rd in the 3rd level final. The Crimson won the Eastern Sprints, Harvard’s first title in that event since 1990, while the Bulldogs took 11th overall at Worcester. Yale is led by first-year head coach John Pescatore (Penn ’86), while Harvard has 41st-year mentor Harry Parker (Penn ’57).

LAST YEAR’S RACE
In choppy conditions, Harvard notched a 41.8 second victory over Yale, the largest margin since 1975. The Crimson’s time of 19:02.5 was the sixth fastest time on the four-mile upstream course. The Bulldogs finished in 19:43.8. Harvard led by five seconds at the one-mile mark, nine seconds at the one-and-a-half mile mark, and 15 seconds at the two-mile point.

DIRECTIONS TO THE CAMPS
Take I-95 to Exit 86 and get on Route 12 North towards Gales Ferry. Stay on Route 12 for approximately 4.6 miles, and look for a white school building on the left. You will see a white street post sign for Hurlbutt Road. Take a left onto Hurlbutt Road. To get to Yale’s camp, go straight over the bridge and to the street’s end. To get to Harvard’s camp, take a left at the stop sign and drive no more than a mile, you will see a big house set back in a large yard.

YALE HEAD COACH JOHN PESCATORE (Penn ’86)
In his first campaign with the Eli heavyweights, Pescatore follows the 13-year tenure of Dave Vogel. Pescatore is a two-time United States Olympic rower, and has been an assistant coach at both Penn and Stanford. He won a bronze medal in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games as the stroke for the U.S. heavyweight eight and was the stroke for the U.S. pair without coxswain that placed sixth in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. In addition, he was the stroke for the heavyweight eight that captured a gold medal at the 1987 World Championships in Copenhagen. Pescatore also has international coaching experience. He served as the assistant coach for the 2000 United States Olympic Rowing Team (Dec. ’99-Oct. 00) in Princeton, N.J., and coached the men’s coxless pair to a silver medal in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. For his efforts, he was named the 2000 U.S. Rowing Coach of the Year. Most recently, he was an assistant coach at Penn in 2002, and the head coach of the Vesper Boat Club in Philadelphia, historically the most successful club program in the United States for placing athletes on national and Olympic rowing teams. Prior to that, Pescatore was the director of both girls and boys rowing at St. Ignatius College Preparatory School in San Francisco where he coached both the varsity and junior varsity eights to medals in all seven of his years. In 1997, he guided his varsity eight to a national championship, which made St. Ignatius the most successful crew in California High School rowing history. Pescatore was an assistant coach at Stanford for three years where he recruited freshmen on and off campus. Pescatore is a 1986 Penn graduate and was the captain of the heavyweight crew that won the Eastern Sprints title in his senior year. He earned his Masters degree in teaching mathematics from the University of San Francisco in 1996. If you need to contact Pescatore for comments on the Regatta, he can be reached in his office at (203) 432-1413 or at Gales Ferry (860-464-8259).

YALE FRESHMAN COACH JUSTIN ANGLE (Pennsylvania ’96)
Angle is in his first year as a coach at Yale. His rowing career began as a freshman at Penn, where he was an All-Ivy rower as a senior when he helped Penn to an Eastern Sprints Championship. Upon graduating in 1996, he moved to Mill Valley, Calif., and began working as a bond trader and coaching at Pacific Rowing Club in San Francisco. In four years at Pacific, he rebuilt a dormant program, winning several medals including two Southwest Junior Regional Championships in the Varsity Four. Angle left Pacific in 2000 to pursue a full-time coaching career. He returned to Penn as an assistant with the Heavyweight Varsity crews, and when Pescatore began as the head coach at Vesper, Angle became his assistant in 2002. In addition to coaching, Angle is also a competitive triathlete. He has finished three Ironman triathlons, including the 2002 Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. In July 2002, he was the 21st overall and 8th amateur finisher at the US National Ironman championships in Lake Placid, N.Y. He is a two-time USA Triathlon All-American and in 2001 qualified for the World Age-Group Championships.

UPS AND DOWNS
This is the 57th upstream race on the Thames with Harvard holding a 33-22 advantage in that direction. The Cantabs have won 13 straight races starting by I-95 and heading north. The upstream record was set by Harvard in 1995 with an 18:45.5. Harvard holds a 34-26 advantage over Yale in downstream races though the Elis have won the last two (1996, 1999). The four-mile downstream record time of 18:22.4 was set by Harvard in 1980.


YALE ROWS AT IRA REGATTA FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1897
This past weekend marked Yale’s first appearance at the IRA National Regatta in 106 years. The Elis had traditionally opted out of the event in preparation for the Yale-Harvard Regatta. Harvard captured the top spot in both the varsity and lightweight events, collecting enough overall points to win the Ten Eyck IRA points trophy. The Yale heavyweights finished 15th overall, with a third-place finish in the third-level final.

BULLDOGS AT 2003 SPRINTS
Like last year, Yale only managed to get the frosh eight into the finals of the Eastern sprints. The Varsity and JV eights finished 11th and 10th, respectively. In the V8 heat, with only two to qualify, Yale finished fourth, 5.5 seconds behind defending champs Wisconsin, 4.2 seconds behind second-place Dartmouth, and 3.5 seconds behind third-place Princeton. Then, in the petite final, after a poor first thousand, Yale came from behind to surpass Penn, and finish one second behind Princeton to take fifth. The JV eight posted a third-place finish in their heat, six seconds behind winner Wisconsin, but only 1.5 seconds back of Navy, and thus missed qualifying for the final. In the petite final, the JV8 finished fourth. The freshmen came from behind in the last 20 strokes of their heat to edge Navy for the seconds spot, and thus qualify for the final. In the final, the Bulldogs finished sixth.

2002 SEASON IN REVIEW
In its season opener on April 12, the Yale Heavyweight Varsity fell just short in an exciting race against Dartmouth. Dartmouth took the early lead and held off the late-charging Elis for a 1.1 second victory. Yale was victorious in the day’s other races, winning the junior varsity 8, freshman 8, and second freshman 4. The following week marked Yale’s first victory in the Blackwell Cup against Penn and Columbia. Racing on the 1964 Olympic Trials course in Orchard Beach, N.Y., Yale clocked a 5:48.8 to Penn’s 5:49.5 and Columbia’s 5:58.0. The junior varsity 8+ and freshman 8+ were also victorious. The second freshman 4+ fell to the Quakers. The next week, April 26, Cornell’s varsity eight boat beat both Princeton and Yale to win the Carnegie Cup. All of the Bulldog crews fell to Cornell and Princeton. The last race before the Eastern Sprints saw Yale fall to Oregon State and Rutgers on Lake Carnegie, and later in the afternoon, Brown swept the varsity, junior varsity, and freshman races from Yale in a duel race.


REGATTA ON THE RADIO
All three races will be broadcast live on WNLC-98.7 FM, which has been covering the race since 1937. The race can also be heard through the live web-cast at www.wnlc.com. Coverage begins at 10:00 a.m. with Yale lightweight crew coach Andy Card helping to call the action.


BULLDOG BITES
Yale has had 50 U.S. Olympic rowing selections since the 1924 Eli varsity brought home the gold in the Paris Games… Yale heavyweight crew has 22 boats, including 11 eight-man shells. All 11 of those boats have been dedicated and carry a name, a process which is handled by the naming committee… Volunteer assistant coach Jamie Snider has a Honda Accord with the license plate “4 Miles”… A 6 x 4-foot framed photo of Yale’s 1956 Olympic Gold Medal boat crossing the finish line in Australia now hangs in the freshman living quarters at Gales Ferry… Yale is the oldest boat club in America…The Crimson has won six straight JV races and leads that series, 65-35… Harvard leads the freshman series, which dates to 1893, 60-38-1… Neighbors to the Yale Camp have been known to re-paint “the rock” in Yale colors after the race each year.

FAMILIAR FACES IN 2nd VARSITY BOAT
Four members of Yale’s second varsity boat – John Hopkins ’05, Marty Reape ’04, Mark Mannion ’05, and Edward Sasinowski ’05 – have been rowing together, often in the same boat, since their high school days at St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia. All came from that successful program as multiple National Scholastic Champions.

FERRY HAS SPLIT LOYALTIES
The Gales Ferry community has always been active in promoting the regatta. Yale camp neighbors Margo Seawall and Rene Murkle paint “Good Luck Yale” in blue and white on the street every year. But they took it a step further last year. The town, which is impartial, has installed signs at both ends of route 12. One reads, “Welcome to Gales Ferry, Home of the Yale-Harvard Regatta.” The other welcome sign reads, “Home of the Harvard-Yale Regatta.”

OBSERVATION TRAIN PROVIDES BIRD’S EYE VIEW
Offering a vintage train experience that follows each heat, allowing passengers to view the race in its entirety, the Green Mountain Railroad observation train departs from New London’s historic Union Railroad Station at 10 a.m. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for children 14 and under.

NEW LONDON “CELEBRATE REGATTA” FESTIVAL
To commemorate the 125th anniversary of the first race on the Thames River, there are several special weekend events planned in New London. Friday, June 6th features an insider’s look at the Boat Race from former Oxford University coach, author, and BBC commentator Dan Topolski. Tickets are $8, for reservations call 860-444-2489. In addition to the regatta itself, Saturday features a Chowderfest and an exhibit on the rise of intercollegiate rowing.


YALE LIGHTWEIGHTS CONCLUDE SEASON AT IRA REGATTA
The Yale lightweights finished third in the Petite Final at the IRA National Regatta this past weekend, the first time ever the Elis have not qualified for the grand final. The Eli lightweights won the national title in 2000 and 2002. Yale was third in the grand final at the EARC sprints on May 11. The Bulldogs finished the season with a 5-2 record.

ELI WOMEN COME HOME 10th at NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
In their second consecutive appearance at the NCAA Championships, the Yale women’s crew finished 10th over the weekend at Eagle Creek Reservoir in Indianapolis. The Bulldogs concluded their season with an overall record of 8-3.

VIEWING THE RACE
The river will be closed to traffic on race day from 10:00 a.m. until 1:30 or approximately 30 minutes after the finish of the varsity race. Spectator boats may anchor along, but clear of, the race course. Spectators on shore can watch the start of the race from Riverside Park, the middle portion on various beaches below the railroad tracks and the finish at the rock around Barlett’s Cove.

YALE’S OLDEST LIVING OARSMAN TURNS 101 DAY AFTER REGATTA
James Stillman Rockefeller ’24, known to his friends as “Stillman,” was one of Yale’s greatest rowers. Now he is the oldest living Bulldog oarsman and will turn 101-years-old on June 8. He is also the oldest living U.S. Olympic Gold medalist, according to U.S.O.C. records. Stillman is the son of William G. Rockefeller, 1892, who was a great nephew of John D. Rockefeller, the Founder of Standard Oil. Stillman captained the gold medal winning heavyweight crew in the 1924 Olympic competition at Paris, and his photo was prominently placed on the cover of Time Magazine on July 7th of that year. He was also presented with one of the George H.W. Bush “Lifetime of Leadership” Awards at the 2001 Yale University Athletics Blue Leadership Ball. Rockefeller became President and Chairman of First National City Bank (now Citi Bank of New York). He was director of the National City Foundation, National City Safe Deposit Company and the International Banking Corporation. He also served as Vice President of the National City Realty Corporation and the Director of the Indian Spring Land Company, the National Cash Register Company, Pan American World Airways, the American Smelting and Refining Company, the American Hawaiian Steamship Company and the Cranston Print Works Company. In 1942, Stillman went on active duty as a major and served with the Airborne Command and Airborne Center as assistant chief of staff. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the General Staff Corps at the time of his discharge in 1945. Rockefeller, who was at the dedication of the Gilder Boathouse, is a former trustee of the American Museum of Natural History and a former member of the Board of Overseers of the Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases. He also served on the University Council as an advisor to the School of Forestry.

GILDER BOAT HOUSE
Following the 1999 racing season, the Robert Cook Boathouse fell and construction commenced on the Gilder Boathouse. It is an expansive facility that stretches south to the finish line of Yale's 2,000-meter race course and incorporates design features specific to the needs of the program and the requirements of the site on the Housatonic River. Selected in a design competition in February 1998, the New Haven firm of Turner Brooks Architects has created a building that is unlike any other boathouse in the world. The main building entrance brings athletes, coaches and visitors through the heraldic sliding oar ‘door’ (a clustered frieze of aluminum oars) onto a porch that opens up dramatically to a framed view of the river. Here a generously expanding stair spills down to connect with the docks and the water below. The staircase and deck function as a multipurpose space for team meetings and other group activities. The athletes proceed out along the porch overlooking the river to enter the locker rooms. The coaches have their own office and lobby area. A lounge is located south of the river for viewing the approach of racing boats. This space, anchored by a large fireplace, is also designed to house trophies and other memorabilia.
