COLUMBUS, Ohio - The fifth-ranked Ohio State rowing team won the 2006 Big Ten Championships Saturday at Lake Phalen in St. Paul, Minn., for the program's second conference title. Both the first and second varsity eight boats, seeded No. 1 in their respective races, won their Grand Finals and the No. 2-seeded second varsity four placed second in its Grand Final as the Buckeyes led the point standings throughout the event.
Ohio State adds the 2006 trophy to its championship from 2002. The Buckeyes are just the second team, along with Michigan, to hold more than one Big Ten rowing championship. OSU finished with 130 points. Host school Minnesota was second with 121 points and Michigan State took third at 113.
The competition was moved up by an hour, with the heat races beginning at 7 a.m. (CT) instead of the scheduled 8 a.m. start time, because of rainy weather conditions. The finals, which were to begin at noon, started at 9 a.m., with the boats flipping their racing order. The first varsity eight raced first with the second novice eight concluding the event.
"I am thrilled for the athletes," Andy Teitelbaum, Ohio State head coach said. "They did a great job in really adverse conditions, particularly both varsity eight boats and the second varsity four. They came through and performed great in their races. Everyone did a fantastic job."

The first varsity eight boat of Charlott Goldstein (Fr., Berlin, Germany), Jana Schiller (Sr., Marquardt, Germany), Susanne Herbrand (Fr., Magdeburg, Germany), Ninett Kossowsky (Sr., Leipzig, Germany), Gabriele Albertaviciute (So., Vilnius, Lithuania), Beth Tompkins (Sr., Westerville, Ohio), Annabelle Fago (Jr., Giessen, Germany), Jessica Shepherd (Jr., Richmond, Ohio) and coxswain Colleen Saville (Fr., Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) opened the Grand Final races by winning with a time of 6:46.2, 1.6 seconds ahead of second-place Michigan.

The second varsity eight followed with a victory in their Grand Final as well. The boat of Livania Tinelli (Fr., Rome, Italy), Andrea Dymalski (So., Bremen, Germany), Katie Poling (Sr., Elyria, Ohio), Zuzanna Trzcinska (Fr., Ilawa, Poland), Simone Haubner (So., Leipzig, Germany), Justine Mahler (Jr., Cincinnati, Ohio), Briony Clare (Jr., Sydney, Australia), Olga Grigorieva (Sr., Moscow, Russia) and coxswain Sarah Obee (Sr., Toledo, Ohio), clocked in at 6:55.0 to win the event and edge Michigan State by one second.

The second varsity four also raced in its Grand Final, finishing second to Minnesota. Katie Ignasiak (Jr., Sylvania, Ohio), Mackenzie Hiltbrand (Jr., Upper Arlington, Ohio), Susan Cohen (Sr., Milford, Conn.), Katie Machingo (Sr., Cincinnati, Ohio) and coxswain Katie McFarland (So., Elyria, Ohio) finished with a time of 8:04.6 to the Gophers' 8:01.9.
The first varsity four finished first in its Petite Final with a time of 8:05.0. The boat, which included Patricia Goodeman (Jr., Waterville, Ohio), Mary Sheehan (Jr., Johnstown, Pa.), Peta-Leigh Dakyns (Fr., Johannesburg, South Africa), Giulia Benedetti (Jr., Columbus, Ohio) and coxswain Susie Wilson (Fredericktown, Ohio), cruised to first place, 37.7 seconds ahead of Iowa in second at 8:42.7.

Ohio State also competed in the Petite Finals of the first and second novice eight. The Buckeyes finished third in the first novice eight race with a time of 7:55.2. OSU then took second in the second novice eight race, clocking in at 8:33.7.

The Buckeyes will next compete May 13-14 at the South/Central Region Championships in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Ohio State, the three-time defending Central Region champ, is looking for its fourth title in as many seasons.

"Nobody has won the Big Ten and Central Regions in the same year since 2001," Teitelbaum said. "Obviously, it's extremely difficult to come off the emotion of winning Big Tens and follow with a repeat performance regionals. It is going to be quite a challenge because everyone is a challenger, as we saw here today."

Ohio State Advances to Two Grand Finals at NCAA Championships :: Buckeyes finish second in first varsity eight semifinal and win second varsity eight repechage

Ohio State Advances to Two Grand Finals at NCAA Championships

Buckeyes finish second in first varsity eight semifinal and win second varsity eight repechage


May 26, 2007

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - The Ohio State rowing team advanced to two Grand Finals of the NCAA championships Saturday, with the first and second varsity eight crews qualifying for the top races of the event. OSU, Brown and Virginia are the only three schools to have made it into both the first and second varsity eight Grand Finals. The Buckeye first varsity four will race in the Petite Final.
The 2007 NCAA Championships are being held on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., with the University of Tennessee playing host to the three-day event. All three NCAA Divisions (I, II and III) are competing at the regatta for their respective national titles. After an hour delay to the start of the events because of debris on the water, the fifth-ranked Ohio State first varsity eight boat of Claudia Wurzel (Fr., Como, Italy), Zuzanna Trzcinska (So., Ilawa, Poland), Patricia Goodeman (Sr., Waterville, Ohio), Susanne Herbrand (So., Magdeburg, Germany), Gabriele Albertaviciute (Jr., Vilnius, Lithuania), Jessica Shepherd (Sr., Richmond, Ohio), Annabelle Fago (Sr., Giessen, Germany), Briony Clare (Sr., Sydney, Australia) and coxswain Susie Wilson (Sr., Fredericktown, Ohio) raced in the second semifinal against No. 1 USC, who came into the national championships undefeated, No. 3 Virginia, No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 7 Stanford and No. 10 Tennessee.

In a race that was closely battled throughout the 2,000 meters, four teams pulled away in the middle 1,000 meters with the Buckeyes, Notre Dame, USC and Virginia in a fight to finish in the Top 3 to advance to the Grand Final. Ohio State dug deep in the final 500-meter sprint, with a split time of 1:38.44, to take second in the race with a total time of 6:28.28.

The Buckeyes finished just under a second behind the top-ranked Trojans to move into the Grand Finals along with the Cavaliers at 6:28.64. Ohio State will compete against the Ivy League's Yale, Brown and Princeton as well. It is the fourth-consecutive NCAA Grand Final appearance for the Ohio State 1V8 and the Buckeyes and Princeton are the only two Division I varsity eight crews to make it to the Grand Finals five of the last six years.
The OSU second varsity eight crew of Andrea Dymalski (Jr., Bremen, Germany), Nora Franzen (Fr., Bad Honnef, Germany), Giulia Benedetti (Sr., Columbus, Ohio), Simone Haubner (Jr., Leipzig, Germany), Jackie Ruetenik (Sr., Vermillion, Ohio), Justine Mahler (Sr., Cincinnati, Ohio), Mary Sheehan (Sr., Johnstown, Pa.), Mackenzie Hiltbrand (Sr., Upper Arlington, Ohio) and Kate Hanseman (Jr., Cincinnati, Ohio) competed in the first repechage of their event, looking for a Top 2 finish to advance to the Grand Final.
The Buckeyes started out in fourth place and battled up to second in the second 500 meters before taking the lead over the five-boat field and holding it for the remaining 1,000 meters. Ohio State clocked in with a time of 6:40.93 to move to the Grand Final along with California who finished second at 6:42.22. It is the third 2V8 Grand Final for the Buckeyes in as many years and, along with Cal, they will race against Brown, Minnesota, Virginia and Washington Sunday morning.
The OSU first varsity four raced in the second repechage of its division. The crew of Erin Shropshire (Fr, Cincinnati, Ohio), Katie Flarida (Fr., Lima, Ohio), Johnna Burns (Fr., Napoleon, Ohio), Sara Wallace (So., Lebanon, Ohio) and coxswain Chelsea Smith (So., Dublin, Ohio) started strong, standing at third through the first 500 meters. The Buckeyes then dropped back to fifth where they would finish with a time of 7:46.90 to move to the Petite Final. Yale (7:33.20) and Washington (7:35.31) took first and second to advance to the Grand Finals. In the Petite Final, Ohio State will face Harvard, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Tennessee and USC.
Ohio State's Sunday race schedule will begin with the first varsity four Petite Final at 10:15 a.m., followed by the second varsity eight Grand Final at 11 a.m. The Division I Grand Final for the first varsity eight concludes the NCAA championships at 11:45 a.m. Live timing and video links are available online through the OSU rowing schedule page at ohiostatebuckeyes.com.

Ohio State Finishes Program-Best Third at 2007 NCAA Rowing Championships :: Buckeyes place second in first varsity eight Grand Final, upset undefeated USC

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - In its eighth-consecutive NCAA appearance, the Ohio State rowing team made program history Sunday, finishing third as a team at the 2007 NCAA Championships with 52 points. The Buckeyes sealed their first-ever Top 3 finish by taking second in the Grand Final of the first varsity eight, also a team record for the highest any boat as placed, edging previously undefeated Southern California by .68 seconds in the process.
The NCAA championships were held on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., with the University of Tennessee playing host to the three-day event. All three NCAA Divisions (I, II and III) competed at the regatta for their respective national titles.
"Our final team standing carried over from the varsity eight result," Andy Teitelbaum, Ohio State head coach, said. "But it's about all three boats, and they did outstanding today. The whole team did something special today."
Brown, Virginia and OSU were the only three schools to have made it into both the first and second varsity eight Grand Finals, and finished first, second and third, respectively, in the team standings. The Buckeye first varsity four raced in the Petite Final.
The fifth-ranked Ohio State first varsity eight boat of Claudia Wurzel (Fr., Como, Italy), Zuzanna Trzcinska (So., Ilawa, Poland), Patricia Goodeman (Sr., Waterville, Ohio), Susanne Herbrand (So., Magdeburg, Germany), Gabriele Albertaviciute (Jr., Vilnius, Lithuania), Jessica Shepherd (Sr., Richmond, Ohio), Annabelle Fago (Sr., Giessen, Germany), Briony Clare (Sr., Sydney, Australia) and coxswain Susie Wilson (Sr., Fredericktown, Ohio), appearing in its fourth-consecutive NCAA Grand Final, rowed in the fifth lane. Two undefeated crews were in the race as well in No. 1 USC and No. 2 Yale, along with No. 3 Virginia, No. 4 Brown and No. 9 Princeton.
In one of the tightest races in the entire regatta, the Buckeyes started slowly out of the gates sitting in sixth place at the 500-meter mark. The crew worked its way up to fourth and then third, before pushing up to second in the final 500 meters with a split time of 1:39.38 in the last part of the race. Ohio State crossed the finish line at 6:38.77 to finish second to Yale at 6:37.08. USC was third (6:39.45), Brown fourth (6:29.55) and Virginia fifth (6:41.50). The Buckeyes also topped defending 1V8 NCAA champ Princeton, who was sixth at 6:45.38.
"I had a feeling we were moving well," Teitelbaum said about the 1V8 Grand Final. "I was hoping the speed we had shown in the semifinals would carry over to the finals. When it did, the momentum pushed us ahead of USC and Brown and it snowballed from there to the finish line. This crew is better than the sum of its parts. They have achieved special things all year and this is the exclamation point."
The OSU second varsity eight crew of Andrea Dymalski (Jr., Bremen, Germany), Nora Franzen (Fr., Bad Honnef, Germany), Giulia Benedetti (Sr., Columbus, Ohio), Simone Haubner (Jr., Leipzig, Germany), Jackie Ruetenik (Sr., Vermillion, Ohio), Justine Mahler (Sr., Cincinnati, Ohio), Mary Sheehan (Sr., Johnstown, Pa.), Mackenzie Hiltbrand (Sr., Upper Arlington, Ohio) and Kate Hanseman (Jr., Cincinnati, Ohio) rowed in the fifth lane of the Grand Final, its third in as many years. The Buckeyes were sixth after the first 500 meters, and moved up to fifth where they would finish with a time of 7:08.52. Minnesota surprised the field by winning the race at 6:56.39, ahead of Cal (6:59.15), Brown (6:59.71) and Virginia (7:01.52).
In the Petite Final, the OSU first varsity four crew of Erin Shropshire (Fr, Cincinnati, Ohio), Katie Flarida (Fr., Lima, Ohio), Johnna Burns (Fr., Napoleon, Ohio), Sara Wallace (So., Lebanon, Ohio) and coxswain Chelsea Smith (So., Dublin, Ohio) stumbled out of the gates in the first lane falling back to sixth through 1,500 meters. In the final 500, the Buckeyes made a push with a second-best split time of 1:57.13 to vault into a fourth-place finish with a total time of 7:56.02. OSU edged fifth place Notre Dame by just .32 seconds. USC won the race at 7:44.06.
While at the NCAA championships, the Buckeyes continued their success at Melton Hill Lake. They have won five-consecutive Central Region championships at the Oak Ridge site, including the 2007 title May 12-13. Ohio State also tied its record for points in an NCAA championship, matching the 52-point total from 2006.
