We want to share a special story from the weekend that exemplifies the true spirit of rowing, by the youngest among us.
On Sunday, there were unselfish acts of heroism shown by Nick Mead and James Konopka, rowing in a double for Episcopal Academy, who stopped their race to come to the aid of two St. Joe's Prep rowers whose boat had flipped. Congratulations and thank you to Nick and James for showing great presence, maturity and selflessness and the true spirit of the sport of rowing.
A special 'shout out' goes to Joe Leonard and Andrew Burrichter, the two St. Joe's Prep rowers who brought this to the attention of their coaches.

Thank you.
Sincere thanks to competitors and coaches for choosing the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta and for your spirit, your competitvenes and your loyalty.
- To the teams who were unable to travel to Philadelphia due to weather conditions, we truly missed you. And we offer apologies to competitors for races cancelled on Saturday, also due to weather.
- We tip our blades, and offer our heartfelt thanks, to the officials and referees who traveled to Philadelphia and spent two cold days on the water to ensure that the regatta was fair, safe and competitive.
- Our volunteer corps, numbering more than 200, were the stars this weekend. The Head of the Schuylkill Regatta could not happen without them.
- We are fortunate to have extraordinary sponsors, many of whom spent the weekend with us on the banks of the Schuylkill showing their support, and enthusiasm for the event.
- Vendors support the off water activities of the regatta. We are fortunate to have very loyal vendors and especially our food vendor, Winnie's Le Bus who made sure everyone had warm 'comfort' food for the weekend. Thank you!

Kind Words
…what a wonderful job everyone did this year at HOSR. The team communicated valuable information in a very timely manner considering the problems with the weather. I'm sure many of the volunteers worked both days, and I would just like to point out how friendly and courteous everyone was. The timing results where posted by the time we had returned from our races and it was a pleasure to be able to pick up our medals and not wait for them to be mailed. Thank you and all involved for a wonderful day….

Thanks. Had good race, very well run as we have come to expect from HOSR...
Congrats to all that worked so hard.
~ Mark O’Connor, Vesper Boat Club
I would like to commend you on your excellent job of getting information out there. Great use of your web site, email and robo phone calls. I did scratch my race,
but it was over concerns about driving from Boston in the snow, not the race venue. Hopefully next year.
~ Bob, Boston

About the Power & Grace Calendar
The Power & Grace Calendar is the official fundraiser of the U.S. National Women's Rowing Team, and entirely athlete-managed. One hundred percent of the calendar proceeds will be donated to the U.S. National Women's Rowing Team to help cover daily training expenses. Training to make the Olympic rowing team is a full-time job, requiring 45+ hours per week of dedication. The team trains three times daily by rowing, erging, running, biking, yoga and weight lifting. The goal of this calendar is to ease the financial burden of athletes committing their lives to being the best in the world. The US Women's Team trains full-time in Princeton, NJ.
