The Princeton open women had a strong showing at the Girls and Women in Sports Day at Jadwin Gym last Sunday.  The Department of Athletics sponsored an event for youngsters in the community to come try and learn about the many different sports offered at Princeton.  The event was in support of the nationwide effort to teach younger generations about the value of sports.

The Princeton women's program is off to a great start in the 2010 spring racing season, and it's hard to think of a time when women's rowing was not taken for granted.  After the racing with Columbia and Rutgers came to a close last Saturday, the Princeton boathouse received a visit from a member of the first ever Princeton women's crew.

 
Cox – Alden Zecha ’87 *87
Str – Carolyn Mehaffey ‘86

With the fall racing season over and time on the water quickly running out, it is time to look forward to the spring, and the racing in store for all crews! During the intercession following winter finals in January, all crews will pack up their unis and boats and head down to Austin, TX for a week-long training trip on Lady Bird Lake. The women will fit in 12-14 practices while in the Texan sun, though the temperature can drop into the 30s during the early morning hours!
