WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Entering his 11th year as the Eph's head coach, Justin Moore will be working with one of his deepest teams ever, continuing the program's excellence.
Though graduating a strong class of nine seniors in 2009 that helped the Eph's win a record four consecutive NCAA championships, the Williams College women’s crew harbors high hopes for the fall season. The team seeks to refine their talent, rather than think of this year as merely rebuilding.
Coming off the fastest first physiological test in team history, Coach Moore feels “our ‘starting point’ is fantastic, but [the team] must realize that there is so much more to being a great team than pure physical strength.” The first weeks on Onota Lake will be crucial to refining technique and establishing line-ups for the first race at Head of the Housatonic.
For the first time at the Head of the Housatonic, the varsity eight will race in the Division I championship division, against schools such as Yale, Columbia, and the University of Rhode Island.
The next week at the Head of the Charles, rowing’s premier event, the Eph's have the “honor and opportunity to get a clean run through the entire course,” while being chased by perennial rivals Bates and Trinity. A year ago the Eph's captured the title in the Collegiate Eight.
At the final race of the fall, Head of the Fish, the women welcome the novices to their first head racing experience.
Leading the Eph's in 2009-10 are eight returning seniors, helmed by captains Julia Haltermann and Sarah Ginsberg. With many juniors studying abroad, the team’s sophomore and freshman classes will have the opportunity to make an impact on the top boats.
The Eph's look forward to competing against the top boats in Division I and III on October 10 at the Housatonic.
