NEW YORK CITY ISFrom its beginnings in a schoolhouse in lower Manhattan, Columbia University has grown to encompass two principal campus-es in New York City: the historic, neoclas-sical campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood and the modern Medical Center further uptown, in Washington Heights.

In New York, the greatest city in the world has everything at your fingertips. A baseball game at Yankee Stadium, a world-class Broadway show, or just a ride around the city where neighborhoods flow freely into one another, New York has it all.

Today, Columbia is one of the top academic and research institutions in the world, con-ducting pathbreaking research in medicine, science, the arts, and the humanities. It in-cludes three undergraduate schools, thir-teen graduate and professional schools, and a school of continuing education.

A member of the Ivy League, Columbia sponsors 29 intercollegiate varsity sports for men and women which compete at the Division I level. Columbia has won 11 Ivy League titles over the past three years, the most in any three-year span in school his-tory.

ROWING IN NEW YORK CITY

Students from every state and virtually all countries pack away memories of small town life to embrace the city where the lights stay on all night. Hanging

out at home is replaced by relaxing on Central Park’s Great lawn; mom’s cooking is replaced by takeout.

With so many opportunities to enjoy the greatest city in the world, inertia-filled students could get lost in the routine of trying to take in the whole experience.

Columbia Rowing provides an anchor for the student-athletes’ life in New York City, providing simple but essential principles like teamwork, effort, diligence and the hunger to excel every time they shove off the dock. Team members’ learn to strike a balance between the rigors of coursework, the daily training sessions and the excitement of the city.

THE COLUMBIA BOATHOUSESIn the summer of �00�, Columbia completed construction of the �9�9 Boathouse, which was built through the generous contributions of Columbia Rowing supporters. The facility, the newest in the Ivy League, is a three-bay shell house, complete with an upper level that includes an erg and weight room and a beautiful meeting area overlooking the water.

The new boathouse is now the centerpiece of a rowing compound in a park-like setting, as the first stage of Columbia’s ambitious reconstruction of its athletic facilities. A new boat shop is expected to be completed in the near future.

The �9�9 Boathouse stands immediately next to the Gould-Remmer Boathouse, which was originally constructed in �895 as the Gould Boathouse at ��6th Street on the Hudson River. It was relocated to its current site, and in �989, was renamed to honor the late Eugene H. Remmer ‘40CC, ‘4�SEAS, a varsity oarsman and longtime supporter of Columbia Athletics.

The buildings sit at one of the most picturesque locations in New York City. They are located aside beautiful Inwood Hill Park, overlooking the confluence of the Harlem and Hudson Rivers and the famed Spuyten Duyvil.

Columbia rowing provides a team of very competitive and supportive student-athletes driven to succeed in all their endeavors.

When the team leaves the Upper West Side campus to the endless miles of water of the Harlem and Hudson rivers there is excitement for practice and the task at hand. With the home race course surrounded by buildings, factories and apartments, the river still acts as a private passageway for Columbia Rowing.

Rowers can feel the tradition and history of this place as their boat race by famous New York landmarks like Yankee Stadium and the George Washington Bridge. Each practice feels like a performance for the whole neighborhood and brings with it a sense of accomplishment, as rowers work toward the goal of defeating ancient rivals and becoming the best racers in the country, in the greatest city in the world.

The �9�9 Boathouse is part of a larger facility, Baker Athletics Complex, which houses the Dick Savitt Tennis Center, Lawrence A. Wien Stadium, which is used for football, track and field and lacrosse; the Columbia Softball Complex, Columbia Field Hockey Venue; Columbia Soccer Stadium and Robertson Field at Satow Baseball Stadium. The facility provides a close, family-like atmosphere to be enjoyed by Columbia’s student-athletes.


THE PROGRAM’S HISTORYColumbia University boasts three varsity rowing teams; heavyweight men, lightweight men and women. Though each team is independent, the three squads work together to form a strong, unified rowing program.

While each team maintains its own racing schedule, the program frequently travels as one, including two training trips to Melbourne, Florida, and races like the Head of the Charles.

The coaches and student-athletes work together to build fast crews by training and practicing together and sharing facilities and equipment.

One site in which the teams train together is in Columbia’s state-of-the-art crew training facility, one of the best in the nation. The center features 40 Model D Ergometers with computer interfaces and heart rate monitors. It also houses a strength training room, exclusively used by rowers, that includes Olympic lifting stations, multi-lift power areas, bench-pull stations, and cross-training equipment. Best of all, the facility is located on campus in Dodge Physical Fitness Center.

Columbia rowing is the University’s oldest intercollegiate sport, dating back to �857. The varsity crews have been on the Hudson and Harlem Rivers regularly since �870, and have developed a proud rowing tradition.

In �878, Columbia gained international acclaim by winning England’s Henley Royal Regatta, becoming the first Americans to win a race abroad. The following year, Columbia was named one of three teams to compete for the Childs Cup, the oldest American rowing trophy.

Throughout the next �0 years, Columbia established a national reputation in collegiate rowing. In �895, with Cornell and Penn, the Lions competed in the first-ever race for the college championship and finished first. This would come to be known as the Poughkeepsie Regatta, a competition to award the national intercollegiate rowing crown. Presently, this race is known as the IRA Regatta.

During the �9�0s and �9�0s, Columbia was one of the most dominant rowing schools in the nation. From �9�6-�9�9, Columbia led collegiate rowing, winning the national championship three times and finishing second once— behind a California squad that went on to win an Olympic medal.

More recently, Columbia crews have worked hard to achieve and maintain the excellence the University has come to expect. During the past three years, the heavyweight crew has won three Collins Cup races, three Alumni Cup races, three Maxwell Stevenson Cup races, two Lusins Trophy races, the Blackwell cup twice and the Childs Cup once. These regular season successes have led to two births in the Sprints Grand Final and one in the IRA Grand Final and an invite to the Henley Royal Regatta in England.

In �995, the freshman lightweights earned Columbia’s first Eastern Sprints medal in �5 years, and were named the EARC Outstanding Lightweight Boat of the Year. The next year, the varsity lightweights earned national acclaim when they went �0-� and won the Augusta Regatta, the Geiger Cup, and the Subin Cup, and were third in the IRA Regatta, the first Lion varsity crew to medal at the IRA in �5 years.

In �000, the team won the Eastern Sprints, the first time a Columbia varsity has captured the prestigious event, and was third at the National Championship. The same year, it won England’s Marlow Regatta and took its second trip to Henley in three years, again reaching the quarterfinals. The �00� varsity lightweights went ��-�, gained silver medals after finishing second in both the Eastern Sprints and the National Lightweight Championship, and became the first Columbia crew ever to capture all four cup races in a single season. Both the �005 and �006 freshman lightweight eight earned bronze medals by finishing third in the Eastern Sprints. The varsity lightweight fours completed a perfect season, going ��-0.

Columbia women’s crew has been an official varsity sport for �0 years (�986-87) and has established itself strongly in Eastern competition.

First under National Team oarsman and Row�K.com founder, Ed Hewitt ’84CC, and most recently under Melanie Onufrieff, the women’s crew has had several strong seasons. In �998, the varsity earned the bronze medal at the IRA Regatta. In �00�, the squad finished above .500 (7-5) for the first time since �990 (4-�), while the �00� women’s varsity went 7-�, the best record by a women’s varsity at Columbia in �8 years, and the �004 varsity was considered for an NCAA bid.

For the first time since Columbia women’s rowing began in the �980s, a Lion eight-oared shell earned a medal in the Eastern Sprints. The novice eight captured the bronze medal, and the Columbia “A” novice four finished second to gain silver; the �006 varsity eight went 9-5 and won the Petite Final.


SCoTT ALwInHead CoachFourth season

Scott Alwin has taken major steps in his first three seasons at Co-lumbia, in restoring lightweight rowing to the success it had enjoyed during the past dozen years. Under his direction, the varsity light-weight crew narrowly missed a win in the Petite Final at Eastern Sprints, coming within six-tenths of a second of Georgetown.

In �0�0, Nick LaCava ‘09CC won the USRowing National Selec-tion Regatta in the lightweight pair and three rowers from the Class of �0�0 – Jake Cushnie ‘�0CC, Bob Duff ‘�0CC and Mike Nucci ‘�0CC – all competed for slots on their respective countries (Cush-nie - Canada, Duff and Nucci - United States) national teams.

In �009, Columbia won its first Cup race since �006 as it defeated Dartmouth to earn the Subin Cup. And for the second consecutive season, the varsity eight earned a trip to the IRA Nationals where it closed in seventh place.

The Lions came within three seconds of defending national cham-pion Cornell in �008, while defeating MIT in the Geiger Cup, then just missed a victory over Dartmouth in the Subin Cup, losing by 6/�0 of a second. Two weeks later, Columbia defied its seed and made the Grand Final of the Eastern Sprints. They just missed a second Grand Final in the National Lightweight Championship, but bounced back to win the Petite Final.

Alwin had also known success before coming to Columbia in the summer of �007. He was a highly successful assistant and fresh-man men’s rowing coach at both Princeton and Wisconsin. Alwin

had been at Princeton since September �004, initially as a men’s rowing intern. He was named freshman lightweight coach in Janu-ary �005.

Alwin’s crews compiled an excellent record of accomplishment. His freshman eight won the gold medal at the �006 Eastern Sprints, and took silver medals in both �005 and �007. The eights won �� of �5 regular-season spring races. He coached the Tigers’ Open Four to a silver medal at the �007 IRA Regatta.

Alwin came to Princeton from his alma mater, the University of Wis-consin. He initially served as assistant varsity heavyweight coach, from February �00� to August �00�, working with all aspects of the program, but with sole responsibility for the Badgers’ third and fourth boats. He helped Wisconsin earn three IRA and two Eastern Sprints gold medals during his two spring seasons; in �00�, the Badgers’ varsity eight won the Eastern Sprints.

Alwin was named head freshman heavyweight coach for the �00�-�004 season. His crew was undefeated in all dual races, and he developed a novice recruiting system for high school athletes.

He also spent two summers as Pre-Elite Coach and administrator of the Camp Randall Rowing Club, coaching the club’s eights to two gold medals each at the �00� and �00� Royal Canadian Henley. At Princeton, Alwin coached the Carnegie Lake Rowing Association.

Like many collegiate oarsmen, Alwin never rowed until entering

Assistant CoachFourth season

Ed Golding joined the Columbia men’s light-weight program in August �007 as assistant and freshman coach. He was brought in by Scott Alwin when Alwin was named head men’s lightweight coach.

Like Alwin, Golding is a former Wisconsin resident who rowed for the University of Wisconsin, and most recently was coaching at Princeton. He spent �006-�007 as Intern Coach for the Tigers, as-sisting both the heavyweight and lightweight freshman coaches, and working directly with the heavyweight and lightweight third var-sity fours.

From �00� to �006, Golding was an assistant varsity coach at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He coached the Badgers’ third varsity eight to first place at the �006 Eastern Sprints, and a num-ber of small boats at the �006 IRA. He also worked as a coach/or-ganizer for the Junior Boys Rowing Camp at Wisconsin during the summers.

He served as a coach at US Rowing’s Midwest Development Camp, located in Madison, during the summer of �005 and �006.

ed GoLdInG

The camp’s summer rowing teams earned �� medals at the �005 US Rowing National Championship Regatta.

“Ed’s attitude toward rowing and coaching,” Alwin said, “stems from our shared experience at Wisconsin. His competitive drive and will-ingness to work hard are two of his great strengths. These are two crucial traits for success in college rowing, which makes Ed the per-fect person to guide the freshmen, and to recruit future athletes.”

A native of Cedarburg, Wisc., Golding competed in cross country, basketball and golf in high school, and took up rowing as a Wiscon-sin first-year. He earned two varsity letters, including a gold medal with his freshman four at the �998 IRA Regatta, and both silver and bronze medals with eights at the Eastern Sprints. He twice medaled at the Head of the Charles, and earned a bronze medal in the men’s eight at the �000 Nations Cup, the world Under-�� championships.

Golding graduated from Wisconsin - Madison in �00� with a B.A. in economics.

college. A native of Middleton, Wisc., he competed in track and cross country at Middleton High, then began rowing as a freshman heavyweight at Wisconsin.

Undefeated in dual races, he earned a gold medal at the �999 IRA Regatta in a varsity four with coxswain, and another gold in

the Badgers’ second varsity eight at the �00� Eastern Sprints. He graduated from the University in �00� with a B.A. in a double major, political science and history.

He and his wife, Alice Kearney, live in Manhattan.

Columbia’s lightweight rowing squad will add a versatile group of incoming student-athletes, head coach Scott Alwin announced recently. The group of �� includes newcomers from Norway, Canada and eight different states. It features �� future Lions who will be first-years in the program along with a junior transfer.

“The first word that comes to mind when thinking about this group is variety,” Alwin said. “These guys represent a lot of different experi-ences and backgrounds, both within and outside the rowing world. Some guys have raced internationally, some are national champions and others are just happy to have a crack at college rowing. A few are pure sweep rowers, but many have good sculling experience as well.”

“The best of these guys will have an immediate impact on our program, while others will take some time to develop,” Alwin continued. “With one transfer and a few rowers that already have varsity eight talent, this recruiting class won’t just populate the freshman team - they’ll have a positive affect on the varsity squad as well. All of them bring something to the table, and we are excited to welcome them to New York City. We look forward to helping each of them reach new heights.”
