Fall 2006 update

The following is from an article written by Matt Benedetto, an editor of the Blackfriar Chronicle and rower from the junior class.

Head of the Harlem: Starting in the shadows of Yankee Stadium, the Malvern Prep Rowing Team began the 2006-07 racing schedule on the Harlem River in New York City. Malvern Prep had a strong performance at the Head of the Harlem. In the high school single sculls event, Malvern rowers finished in first through eighth place. A.J. DiValerio finished first followed by Matt McManus in second and Mark Borgerson in third. Sean Stewart, Mike Bohs, Carter Linborg, Brandon Hanna, and Pat Quinn rounded out the top eight respectively and completed a commanding performance in the singles. The double sculls event was a highly competitive race. The double consisting of John Muntz and Brian Nasca finished fourth, Randy Scott and Chris Cosgrove finished fifth, and Bob Valenti and John Selin finished sixth. In the final event for Malvern rowers, Matt Benedetto finished first in the high school gig event. Malvern Prep left the Harlem River with confidence and satisfaction with their performance.

Navy Day Regatta: The Malvern rowing team returned to Philadelphia to race on the Schuylkill against some familiar and more competitive competition. Malvern continued their success in the high school single finishing with eight rowers in the top ten positions. Matt McManus finished first with a great performance followed by Mark Borgerson in second, Carter Linborg in third and A.J. DiValerio in fourth. Sean Stewart finished sixth, Mike Bohs finished seventh, Brandon Hanna finished eighth, and Matt Benedetto finished tenth. The double sculls were able to achieve some revenge from the Head of the Harlem with improved performances and better results. John Selin and Bob Valenti finished in a close second, Chris Cosgrove and Randy Scott finished in fourth, and Brian Nasca and John Muntz finished in sixth. The double sculls event was closely contested again with the first six finishes with twenty seconds.

Schuylkill Banks Regatta: In the Schuylkill Banks Regatta, Malvern Prep raced a Quadruple Scull consisting of John Selin, Chris Cosgrove, Brandon Hanna, and Matt Benedetto. Malvern’s Quad raced against Roman Catholic High School and The Haverford School. Brian Nasca and Randy Scott raced singles. Malvern finished first with Randy Scott’s single and Brian Nasca’s single while the Quad finished third.

Head of the Charles: Several rowers from Malvern Prep made the journey to Boston, Massachusetts to race on the Charles River. Malvern had another strong performance against difficult competition. The double of Matt McManus and A.J. DiValerio finished third (first among high schools). The double of Mark Borgerson and Carter Linborg finished fourth (second among high schools) and the double of Mike Bohs and Sean Stewart finished seventh (fifth among high schools). In the single event, Bob Valenti raced against tough competition and finished thirty-seventh in a race including forty-five rowers.

Head of the Schuylkill: Sadly, the Head of the Schuylkill was cancelled this year due to “inclement” weather.

Philadelphia Frostbite Regatta: Matt McManus and AJ DiValerio came in second in the Men’s Open Double behind Lehigh University.

Bill Braxton Memorial Regatta: Two doubles competed in the Men’s High School Double event. Mark Borgerson and Carter Lindborg came in first place and AJ DiValerio and Matt McManus came in second place.

End of spring 2006 season update

Towards the end of the 2006 spring season, many of the guys competed in some of the most competitive races, including the Scholastic Rowing Association’s Annual Regatta (Nationals) in Saratoga Springs, the USRowing National Youth Championships in Cincinnati, Can-Am-Mex in Mexico City, and the Junior World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

Here’s a summary of the results (click on the links above to get to the full results pages).

SRAA Nationals: Peter Glowa and Brandon Hanna finished 5th in their final for the Junior Double. Matt McManus, Mark Borgerson, Sean Stewart, and Mike Rawlings came in 3rd in the Junior Quad behind Dennis Morris and Haverford. Ryan Watson and Carl Jablonski came in 3rd in their highly competitive Senior Double heat by one second behind Conestoga. Ryan Coyne, Carter Lindborg, AJ DiValerio, and Matt Hurley came in 2nd in their Senior Quad final, behind Roman Catholic by one second.

USRowing Youth Nationals in Cincinnati: Because of their exceptional racing at Cities, the Varsity Quad and the Varsity Double was invited to the USRowing Youth Nationals in Cincinnati. Ryan Watson and Carl Jablonski came in 6th place in their Youth Double final with a time of 7:40.69. Ryan Coyne, Carter Lindborg, AJ DiValerio, and Matt Hurley came in first place by .01 of a second ahead of Maritime Boat Club in the Youth Quad final. That win sent Malvern to Mexico City for Can-Am-Mex.

Can-Am-Mex: Mark Borgerson, Matt McManus, and Sean Stewart raced against the best from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Guatemala at Can-Am-Mex in Mexico City. Mark Borgerson came in 4th place in the Men’s Single Event. Matt McManus and Nate Kelly of Maritime Boat Club in Connecticut came in 4th place in the Men’s Double Event. Sean Stewart, Matt McManus, Mark Borgerson, and Nate Kelly came in 3rd place in the Men’s Quad race.

Junior World Championships: After their performance at the time trials in Princeton, AJ DiValerio and Carter Lindborg created a composite Quad with William Kelly and Sebastian Kirwan of Maritime Boat Club to represent the United States in the Junior World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam. They finished 6th in the D Final with a time of 6:33.74.
