yeah, they must have mad biceps. I thought it was a team sport though.

Thank you to the two guys from Stud Life who came out to cover the event this weekend. They have done an outstanding job in the past couple of years of covering club sports more diligently. The picture may not be a full representation of the athleticism that was displayed during the event, but coxwains like Dave Ingber, Eileen Ke, Ru Ho, Jordan Entin and Ally Rifkind are vital and critical players in the success of the team. We quite literally would go no where without them. One of the complaints was that although Dave is a member of the Washington University team he was not wearing the Washington University uniform. Please continue the fine job you are doing to present the hard working club athletes here at Washington University

I had planned on supporting the team in regards to this event but I’m not anymore, where is the team unity? can’t they just be happy for one another and not be so jealous? really immature, so maybe another time

I couldn’t agree more.

In response to post #3, maybe more people would join if they thought crew were more fun…sooo maybe showing a joke race isn’t the end of the world. People know we’re up at 5…don’t worry, they get that we’re serious.

When you “clearly put a lot of work” into something, you learn study up enough on rowing to realize that the coxswain 500 is in fact a joke race because coxswains don’t actually row. You realize that rowers work hard, that “early in the morning” doesn’t constitute 11 am. When you actually respect a team, you don’t show up to their event during the very last races, and then choose a photo which doesn’t represent their hard work.
Thank you, StudLife, for covering the Indoor Regatta. Next time, maybe choose a better photo.

I think that despite any dissatisfaction with the pictures used, the article talked about Crew, a group I hadn’t seen a lot of press about until now. Someone clearly put a lot of work into trying to expand the sports that StudLife covers- so I think it’s more important to keep that in mind, rather than make a big deal about something like a picture.

As yet another member of the WashU rowing team, I agree with the 4th poster. #3. . . stop speaking. I’m glad we are being recognized and written about, and others on the team I’ve talked to agree. Johann woke up early on a weekend to come and cover the event. He didn’t get there until the cox race but at least he came and took some pictures

As another member of the WashU rowing team, I think A.W. needs to care less about the photo selected and more about the fact that crew is being covered at all. I think it is awful of him to feel he can speak on behalf of the entire team and should rethink before making such a bold claim. Thanks again for the coverage, and please ignore the awful remark made by my uninformed and ill-spoken teammate
