[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS is a very diverse school and the rowing team looked fantastic at a regatta the other day.[/quote] GDS just finished an amazing season -- kudos to the rowers and coaches![/quote] +1. They are a fantastic team.[/quote] None of the 4 GDS boats at Stotesbury even finished in the top half of their qualifying heat, let alone reached a semifinal.[/quote] :mrgreen:Boys Senior Four Heat -.St. Johns College HS - 18th out of 60...Georgetown Day 36th, Gonzaga 34th... :wink: Bishop O'Connell... :shock: 5th....Wilson and Blair, 13th and 16th...[/quote] Very few legit rowing schools such as Gonzaga, St Albans, or NCS even have a senior four, let alone put their best rowers in that event. For Gonzaga, their best rowers are put in the 1st varsity 8 or the 2nd varsity 8, both of which just won a national championship a few weeks ago. GDS needs to man up and race with the big boys in the 8s before comparing themselves to other schools. [/quote] GDS has had a crew program for a relatively short time compared to the more established programs. Considering that, they've made fantastic progress. Its a smart, amazing team that had a great season and is risng fast.[/quote] I think we are probably seeing more of the handiwork of someone who posts over the top (and often unverifiable) praise of GDS, and then sits back and laughs when other people get mad and take shots at GDS (clearly the intent of the exercise). I don't believe this poster, who usually focuses on college acceptances but perhaps is branching out to crew threads, is affiliated with GDS because the aim seems to be to make GDS and its community look bad. GDS has a really terrific cross-country and track program. Given the success in that area, I wouldn't count them out for having really good rowing down the road but they're not there yet (which they'd be the first to say).[/quote]
