Tribute to George Teagle Clements '86

Racing Shell Endowed in Honor of Inspiring Oarsman.

PRINCETON – More than 100 people gathered at the Princeton Boathouse to dedicate a racing shell in honor of George Teagle Clements ’86, a charismatic rower who passed away just two years after his graduation. The event followed a four-month drive that collected approximately $93,000 from more than 60 donors, and created a permanent endowment. The consistent message from the speakers was that Princeton rowers of today and tomorrow could draw upon the courage and tenacity of George Teagle Clements ’86, who touched the lives of so many of his teammates and classmates.

Ahrens Rows To Gold In Athens; Silver For Nelson and Herschmiller

Princetonians have big Sunday at Olympic Games

Chris Ahrens shared the Roper Trophy in 1998 as Princeton's top senior sportsman. It was hardly the last athletic honor he would win.

Ahrens, rowing Sunday morning in Athens, helped the Unites States win its first Men's Eights Olympic gold medal since 1964. The U.S. boat took the lead early and held off a modest charge for the runner-up Dutch boat to win in 5:42.48, 1.27 seconds ahead of the Netherlands.

Lianne Bennion-Nelson '95 earned a silver medal with in the Women's Eights. The United States team led early in the race before Romania took control to win by almost two seconds. The Netherlands finished third.
Danika Harris-Holbrook '95 finished sixth in the Women's Quadruple Sculls.

Tom Herschmiller, a 2001 Princeton grad, rowed to a silver medal as part of the Canadian men's fours team Saturday in Athens.

Herschmiller's Canadian Four led the boat from Great Britain heading into the final 500 meters, but the Brits crossed the line less than a tenth-of-a-second ahead of Canada in the end.

Herschmiller had also rowed for the Canadian eight in Sydney, finishing seventh overall.

Open Women Fall Short In Henley Final

Terrific 2004 season ends three lengths short of first Henley win.

A wonderful 2004 season, including an undefeated Ivy League schedule and an Eastern title, ended just short of history Sunday morning. In the final of the Remenham Challenge at the annual Henley Championships, the Princeton open crew fell to the Thames Rowing Club and University of London.

Princeton, which defeated Osiris Boat Club in the quarterfinals and the University of British Columbia & University of Victoria, Canada in the semifinals, fell by three lengths in Sunday's final. The Tigers were looking to bring home Princeton's first women's title at Henley, but they still equalled the best ever finish by a women's crew at Henley.

Open Crew To Race For Henley Title Sunday

Princeton looks for first championship women's team in final of Remenham Challenge.

The Princeton open crew is one race away from making even more history in an already historic 2004 campaign. The tigers won their quarterfinal and semifinal races at the Henley and will compete against Thames R.C. and University of London in Sunday's final.

The Tigers, who earned the trip to Henley by winning the 2004 Eastern Sprints, defeated the Osiris Boat Club by four lengths in the quarterfinal to compete against the University of British Columbia & the University of Victoria. Princeton rose to the challenge once again, winning by more than three lenghts.

Princeton had reached the grand final after finishing second in their first heat behind Wisconsin and then winning their repechage heat the next day by an impressive 11 seconds. Princeton's men's varsity lightweight eight also had a strong performance, finishing in third place behind Navy and Georgetown in the grand final in that event after finishing second in their initial heat.

The Tiger heavyweight men's varsity eight placed fifth in the grand final in Camden. Princeton's time of 6:03.16 was just behind Navy in fourth. Princeton had placed third in its semifinal race behind eventual grand final winner Harvard after winning its repechage heat earlier in the regatta.
