stotesbury cup regatta 2009

stotesbury cup regatta 2009
Philadelphia — It wasn’t very long ago that Mount St. Joseph was the supreme queen of the Stotesbury Regatta.In 2005 and 2006, it was the Mount’s senior eight that hoisted the Robert Engman trophy on the Schuylkill River’s awards dock. At the time, there was little reason to believe that the trend would end. The Mount’s crew program was seemingly growing stronger by the year. But while the Mount was growing, Bishop Eustace was skyrocketing. The program began in 2001 and was incorporated into the Pennsauken, N.J. school as a varsity sport in the spring of 2007. The year before, the team showed impressive progress by reaching the senior eight finals at Stotesbury.It was 2007, though, that changed everything. The Crusaders, or “Crew-saders,” as they sometimes call themselves, slipped past Canada’s E.L. Crossley to capture the Robert Engman trophy. The Mount could only watch from its position in fourth place.
