2002 Race Results
Note to readers: The information on this page was written in 2002. Unfortunately, over time, news sources will remove older articles, so you will find a number of dead-end links here, but all of the photos and information we wrote at the time remains in full!
Class Day
It was a day for the seniors and for those who like bbq'd burgers as Class Day 2002 kicked off the season at the Montlake Cut.
Both the senior men and women won the featured events of the day - click here to read more about the races at GoHuskies.com.
The bbq was open to all who attended, including the reunion classes of 1972, '82 and '92. The highlight of the event at the shellhouse was the dedication of the Dick Erickson racing shell, christened by Irma Erickson - with finish line water from the west end of the Cut - and inaugurated by the victorious Men's class of 2002.
Thank you to the following people who made the bbq and day what it was: Cliff Hurn, Class of '72 coordinator, Ellen Ernst, Class of '82 coordinator, Eric Cohen and Al Forney, event coordinators, Matt Minas and Paul Yount, Class of '92 coordinators (and expert burger flippers), Jim Pugel, Al Erickson, Joanna Hess and Allison Urback for helping sell gear, Mike Hess, Kevin Hansen, Paul Hannah, and all the rest who helped set up/clean up - it was a great way to kick off the season!
The pictures below cover some of the highlights of the day (click on the picture to enlarge).

Washington/Wisconsin Dual
Washington won the Men's Varsity and JV events in the annual dual race on the Montlake Cut Saturday, April 20th. The Washington Freshmen raced in the JV event and finished third.
The margin of victory was about a length in the Varsity race, with Washington timed on a fast race course at 5:37.8 and Wisconsin at 5:40.8. The JV race was particularly exciting as the crews entered the cut (about 700m to go) with Wisconsin ahead by 3/4's of a length. The J's had drawn even at 200m to go and went on to win the race in a time of 5:43.1 to Wisconsin's 5:44.7. The Frosh were impressive staying with both JV crews down the entire course, finishing at 5:47.0.
See the pictures below for the perspective from the north side of the cut at 200m to go; more information and an article on the race can be found at GoHuskies.com.

The Husky men rowed the 2000 meter Redwood Shores course in 5:46.69, followed by California in 5:48.4.
The Husky women finished in 6:40.85, followed by Cal in 6:48.54.

Windermere Cup - Opening Day 2002
The 16th annual Windermere Cup, featuring guests from Europe, Asia, and Australia, came to a conclusion Saturday May 4th living up to the reputation it has garnered over the years as one of the premier rowing events in the world.
On a blustery day that was apparently not enough to deter the tens of thousands of rowing fans that lined the course, all of the crews and athletes experienced the unique rowing venue that is Opening Day. From the starting line to the finish, crews were greeted with a cacophony of horns, shouts, bells and applause as they rowed the 2000 meter course.
Washington won the featured events of the day, including the Windermere Cup for varsity crews (men and women's events) and the 1st annual Dick Erickson Cascade Cup (men and women's jv) events. In the Windermere Challenge Cup for single sculls, Duncan Free of Australia edged away from a very tight race entering the cut to defeat Xeno Muller of Switzerland.
Thanks to KOMO 1000 radio and Fox Sports NW for the excellent coverage of the races. Replays of the Fox Sports NW hour-long coverage can be seen on May 5 at 5 p.m., May 11 at 4 p.m., May 14 at 2 p.m., May 18 at 5 p.m., and May 26 at 5 p.m.
Also a big thank you to Betsy Beard Stillings, Lois Kipper, Mischelle Day, and all of the volunteers who helped set-up the Stewards Enclosure Friday and Saturday - thank you Windermere Real Estate whose commitment to this event makes it what it is - and thank you DE for having the vision to create it!

OSU/Washington Dual
GoHuskies has an article out on the races - the team performed well on Lake Vancouver - we'll check our sources and see if we can get some pictures up soon.
PAC-10's
Grand Finals begin at 12:40 p.m. with 4's racing, followed by Frosh/Novice events (1:20 p.m.); JV events 2:00 (W) and 2:20 p.m. (M), and then the Varsity 8 finals at 3:00 (M) and 3:10 (W).
Update 1:50 p.m. 5/19:
Conditions on the course are less than perfect. The wind is blowing across the course as a quartering headwind, with gusts creating fluky conditions. The course currently has a chop, some whitecaps, although the lanes on the Lake Natoma course are relatively fair in their exposure.
The men's freshmen have just won the Pac-10 championship, finishing 2 - 3 lengths ahead of California. The women's novice have just finished third in their finals race. We will be back in about an hour for another update from the race course.
Update 2:50 p.m.
The weather conditions have deteriorated, with the temperature dropping and heavy rain beginning to come down over the course.
The women's JV have won their event, but the men have fallen short by a wide margin, with California winning by 3 lengths. Both races featured windy and wet conditions.
Update 3:25 p.m.
The women's Varsity have won the Pac-10 championship in form, beating the field by two lengths.
The men's Varsity race, however, was the race of the day. Under flatter conditions with the same crossing headwind, Cal and Washington broke from the pack after 500 meters. It then became a neck and neck race down the course until the final 200 meters, with Cal edging ahead in the final strokes as the crews sprinted. Cal won the race by a margin of about 2 seats.
