Revised: Club History A Brief History of Rowing in Long Beach Adapted from The History of Rowing in Long Beach compiled by Brian Caplen, Bill Lockyer and Ken Plumb O Four with surging past the original stadium seats and finish line from the 1932 Olympics. Photo taken ca. 1934. U pon the heels of the Olympic Games, the original Long Beach Rowing Club (later the Long Beach Rowing Association) was formed by twenty five Long Beach businessmen dedicated to promoting rowing in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area. Clyde Doyle, Chair of the City Recreation Committee was the club's first temporary president, and Keith Enloe was elected as the first official president. The club purchased several of the shells left by the Japanese and German Olympic crews. Long Beach High School, Wilson High School, Long Beach Junior College and UCLA all immediately embarked on rowing programs. All the high school crews were coached by Pete Archer (1904-2001) through the Long Beach Recreation Commission, which of course put Pete in the comfortable position of never being the losing coach. Omnipresent and tireless, Pete also coached the recreational classes for men and women. Throughout the thirties, Pete's Jr. rowers became national champions and many went on to row with the great California crews of that era.

Sept. 8, 2004 Colonials Pursue Olympic Dreams Athletes Return from Athens By Rachel Muir Fast forward four years. In Athens, Abdullah, along with double sculls partner Henry Nuzum, advanced in an Olympic semifinal race with a margin of victory that made the 2000 trials seem like a rout when they edged out a Norwegian duo by .01 second. (After a protest from the Norwegian team, the race was deemed a dead heat and both pairs advanced to the finals.) Abdullah and Nuzum went on to finish an impressive sixth overall. Perfect Balance Being All You Can Be Senior explains that the US Modern Pentathlon Committee got its hands on a letter that he, as a high school student, sent out to colleges, inquiring about their athletic programs and detailing his accomplishments in swimming and running. The committee invited him to a development camp the summer after his sophomore year even though he had little or no experience in the other three disciplines. Four years ago in Sydney, Senior led the Olympic field after three events. A medal seemed all but certain, especially since his worst event, fencing, was behind him. But when his horse botched four jumps, Senior placed 18th in the horseback riding portion and finished sixth overall. Frustrated, he took a two-year hiatus from the sport.

Wisconsin Where They Row A History of Varsity Rowing at the University of Wisconsin Bradley F. Taylor Wisconsin Where They Row is the definitive history of rowing at the University of Wisconsin. Although this oldest of intercollegiate sports had its American beginnings in 1852 as a contest among Ivy League men, it would soon have to make room for the stubborn steadfastness of Wisconsin's athletes. Author Bradley F. Taylor captures the unique character of Wisconsin crew and its athletes in this meticulously researched and abundantly illustrated book. Taylor recounts rowing's beginnings as the first UW intramural sport in 1874, the long and rich history of the men's crew, the establishment of the women's team in 1972, and the presence of Wisconsin rowers on every U.S. men's and women's Olympic rowing squad from 1968 through 2000. He tells of the UW men's victory in 1892 at Oconomowoc against the "Chicago Navy," their first competition against an outside club; the story of the famed "Berry-Crate Crew"; and the Badger crews' participation in the early intercollegiate regattas on the Hudson River. He depicts how boats were shipped east by train; how one coach sacrificed most of his salary during the threadbare 1930s to keep the sport alive; and how thousands of spectators watched races from railroad flatcars and yachts.

Club Information LMRC History Lake Merritt Rowing Club - By Meredith May and Robert Kidd Rowers have been competing on "Oakland's Crown Jewel" ever since civic leader Samuel Merritt dammed up an arm of the San Antonio Estuary in 1869 to create Lake Merritt. Homeowners who live along the lake built small, private boathouses and invited their friends and neighbors to see who was the better rower. An entrepreneur rented canoes and flatboats from the 12th Street Dam, and the occasional spontaneous sprint would draw a crowd of onlookers. At the turn of the century, Oaklanders embarked on a progressive City Beautiful movement, and approved $8 million in bonds for a new City Hall, Lakeside Park and a Municipal Boathouse at Lake Merritt. The new boathouse was built with the 1906 earthquake in mind. Constructed of reinforced concrete, it housed a pumping station for firefighters in the mid-section and the two wings were used to store canoes, sailboats and rowboats. The boats were available to the public, expanding lake access to others besides the wealthy lakeside homeowners. The upper floor of the East wing was a tea room for spectators. A year later, Oakland high schools began sending their students to Lake Merritt for physical fitness. It was common then to see young women in ankle-length white dresses, pulling themselves around the lake in wooden rowboats. Every year, crews of boys and girls hosted a Water Carnival, and decorated their boats with flowers to make them look like swans and dolphins.

After missing out on a chance at the medal stand due to the U.S. boycott in 1980, Caulkins came back with a vengeance in 1984, dominating the competition on her way to three gold medals. In the 400-meter individual medley, she set a U.S. record and won the race by 15 meters. In the 200m IM, Caulkins bettered the Olympic record by nearly 12 seconds. Her third gold medal came in the 400m medley relay. During her storied career, Caulkins broke more than 60 U.S. records and won 48 national titles, a record that remains unapproached 20 years following her retirement. George Foreman With just 18 amateur bouts under his belt, superheavyweight George Foreman won the gold medal in that class at the 1968 Games in Mexico City. In the final, he stopped Soviet Jonas Cepulis in the second round. Foreman defeated 1964 Olympic gold medalist Joe Frazier to win the world heavyweight title in 1973.

Click a link to read more about Categories Competition News, History, Fast Facts More Sports Categories Boats compete in two basic categories: sculling and sweep rowing. Both men's and women's races are rowed on a 2,000-meter course no matter what the event. In sweep rowing, two, four, or eight crewmembers sit facing the stern of the boat, each rower pulling one oar. In some of the pairs and fours events, the vessel is steered by a non-rowing "coxswain" (pronounced cox-n) who sits in the stern of the boat, facing the crew. The job of the coxswain is to steer the boat, decide tactics, and establish and maintain the speed and rhythm of the strokes of the rowers.

Leslie Thompson, former Mustang and current coxswain for the Canadian women's eight, leads the charge into the 2000 Summer Olympics By Justin Klein Gazette Staff Lesley Thompson grew up in Kingston, Ontario. When the time came to decide which university she wanted to attend, Western was the clear winner in her mind. "All my friends and I had to decide between Western and Queen's," Thompson said. "But when the decision was made, Western wasn't in our hometown and it was known to have a great athletic program." She came to Western in 1977 to major in kinesiology and pursue her love for gymnastics. However, in 1978 Lesley decided to pick up an oar and soon after, this natural rower found many opportunities begging for her talent. She was a great addition to the Western rowing team in 1978 and her career as a coxswain was just beginning. Everything seemed to go just right for this young star and in two short years she found herself invited by the Canadian National Rowing team to compete at the Olympics. The second-year rower found herself steering the women's eight boat in Moscow at the 1980 Olympics. Lesley gave it all she had, but for the first time in her career, she came away only with a thank you card.
