SUBJECT: MUN team rows to Regatta victory
DATE: August 6, 2004
A rowing team made up of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ alumni (and one staff member of the university) rowed successfully in the St. John's Regatta on Wednesday, Aug. 4. The team won the MUN Male Labour race with a time of 10:06:88. President Axel Meisen was on hand to present the team with their championship trophy.
Under coxswain and Royal St. John's Regatta hall-of-famer Bert Hickey, the crew included (listed as they sit in the boat starting with number six stroke oar): Robert Moran BA '00, B.Ed.'02; Douglas Trainor, BBA '03; Steve Winters B.Sc.'03; Desmond Ryan, B.Eng.'03; Gordon Delaney, B.Comm.'02; Brian Power, BBA '00 and spare rower Greg Howard, BA '02, B.Comm.'02.
The laurels weren't all for rowing either. When he wasn't rowing, Gordon Delaney, who also works as a student recruitment officer at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½, was acting as coxswain. His efforts garnered him the aggregate award for most points over the day. He was coxswain for two record-setting crews, the ICT/Outer Cove masters and the Compusult female intermediate team.
ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University once had a faculty-based team and has been a gold sponsor of the regatta on several occasions, but this year the university sponsored a crew with graduates from several faculties. The university also supports the Regatta by providing three work-term students to help the Regatta Committee organize the annual event.
