Race summary:
The NMH varsity rowed its most powerful race of the season today in Saratoga, earning a sixth place finish in a very large field of 40 boats. Our stroke pair of Gabriel Costa '06 and Naim Culhaci '05 set a solid rating of 30-31 strokes per minute for the body of the race, while our bow pair of Hunter Keil '05 and Jon Russell '06 matched the timing and power of the stern pair. Coxswain Teresa Le '07 showed confidence and command of her boat. The Big Red finished just ahead of two fine crews that had placed well at last week's Head of the Charles and finishes its fall regatta season with a W-L record of 67 - 10.

The boys finished 9th out of 37 entries, rowing well for the first 3/4 of the race, but then fading into a gusty headwind and running out of gas in their tired legs.

Race summary:
NMH's A-boat raced to a third-place finish at the Textile River Regatta, the first big regatta of the fall rowing season in New England. Shaking off the distractions of a late arrival to the course, the boys earned bronze medals behind two strong fours from St Johns. This was not our best race performance, with several late crabs and imprecise timing at the catch, but it was good to finally compete again after a month of training on the Connecticut. We have much to work on this week as we prepare to race at the Head of the Connecticut Regatta next Sunday.
NMH A (Big Red): Teresa Le (cox), Gabriel Costa (stroke), Naim Culhaci, Hunter Keil, Jon Russell (bow)

NMH's B-boat earned a seventh-place finish in the same event. Most of these boys have less than a year of experience under their belts, and they have made good progress in their connection and timing in recent weeks. Their coach was impressed with the SEND these boys were giving their boat as they passed under the bridge at the 3 mile mark, but we really need to match our releases better if we want to apply power from a stable platform. The set in the Good Shepherd was a little rocky!
NMH B (Good Shepherd): Ryan Gagnon (cox), Shek Liu, Kam Bulat, Nick Carr, Kevin Pai (bow)
