pj in a single


Congratulations to past Sagamore member and Hofstra Crew Alumni, PJ Antonik

The 2006 summer racing series has come to a positive close for Hofstra Crew Alumni PJ Antonik. Racing at the National Championship and Canadian Henley Regatta for the New York Athletic Club he was able to turn some great results. At Nationals he won the Senior Single but was unfortunately excluded from the race due to boat weight. He then went on to win the senior quad and took second in the senior double. In Canada he advanced to the finals in all four events entered; the Senior and Champ single, the senior quad and the senior double. After a vigorous second thousand walking through 3 boats PJ took gold in the senior double with partner Wes Permarini. In the quad he was able to stroke the boat to a second place finish just behind University of Victoria. In the singles he was able to turn two respectable 4th place finishes.

PJ plans to continue racing throughout the fall and has asperations of securing funding for his 2007 racing season. For more information please check out an article on his racing at http://www.acorn-online.com/news/publish/article_8661.shtml

LISC Mixed 8+

For the last event of the Long Island Championships 2006, ran on Saturday, May 6th off the Center Island, LI, mixed 8+, scullers of the Crew Club of Oyster Bay (boys) combined with the Our Lady of Mercy sweepers (girls) and it worked. Even though their only pre-race practice was a row to the start, they finished second and third out of nine entries, receiving silver and bronze medals. Everybody was happy, including their coaches – on far left is Ellen Hughes of the OLMA, on far right and kneeling in the middle are Troy Smith and Peter Bisek of the CCOB.

Congratulations to Ashleigh Tate of the University of Rhode Island on making the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) first team All-Region Rowing Team for the Mid-Atlantic Region.  This is Rowing's equivalent of naming All-Americans.

Congratulations are also in order
to two past Sagamore members -
P.J. Antonik and Amanda Kendrick
for racing at the
National Selection Regatta
on May 19-21.


Photo of P.J. Antonik and Amanda Kendrick

P.J. Antonik, originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts joined Hofstra Crew in his junior year of 2000.  After graduation in 2002, he joined NYAC, where he has been training since.  As a NYAC athlete he has won two national championships, the senior double 2004, and the Intermediate 8 2005.   He won gold in the lightweight 8 in 2004 at the Head of the Charles, Head of the Connecticut and Head of the Schuylkill.  He and his doubles partner, Nick Peterson, placed 11th at this regatta and plan on training through the summer.  With intentions of eventually making the move up to the national team he plans on training hard for the upcoming summer season of racing.

Amanda Kendrick rowed for Huntington High School and for Yale University.  While at Yale, her boat placed second at the NCAA Championships in 2004, and won the Eastern Sprints Championships in 2005 for the first time since 1981.  After graduating, she rowed with Sagamore for the rest of 2005, winning the intermediate doubles at the US Rowing National Championships, and joined the OARS (Olympic Athletes Rowing at Saugatuck) program at Saugatuck Rowing in January.  She and her partner, Beth Greene, placed 8th at this regatta.  They have been invited to the US Rowing selection camp for the quad.

SRA ACTION ALERT

Date: Tuesday, April 25, 2006
Time: 7:00pm
Event: Town Board of Huntington Meeting
Location: Town Hall, 100 Main street, Huntington, NY

On Tuesday, April 25, 2006 the Town Board of Huntington will have its regular meeting, including a Public Hearing, which begins 7pm in the Town Hall at 100 Main street in Huntington.

At this time it appears prudent for SRA to put in an appearance at this meeting and to express our views during the Public Hearing, as to SRA's long term needs, which include restoration of the Coindre Hall boathouse and expanded facilities to meet the needs of our community. At one point during the past several years it seemed as though we were on our way to a beautiful new boathouse on Gold Star Beach, which was designed with Town funds, but that project was shelved in favor of restoration/expansion on the Coindre Hall property.

It also appears that regular attendance at Town Hall meetings may be advisable during future months, so as to demonstrate the continuing level of our keen and determined interest in restored and additional facilities.

SRA will be presenting a brief position paper on this subject at this meeting and urges all SRA members to attend to show our level of support for these urgently-needed facilities. Student and adult rowers, parents, coaches, members and friends who are interested in this subject are urged to attend. Wearing rowing garb and Sagamore identification would be advisable.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Spencer Ross
Commodore, SRA

SRA ACTION ALERT
Above is an illustration of the proposed boathouse at Gold Star Battalion Memorial Beach.

Proposed Boathouse
to be built at
Gold Star Battalion Memorial Beach

The Sagamore Rowing Association is in favor of increasing the opportunities available to row in the Town of Huntington.  In support of this, the town of Huntington has proposed working with Suffolk County to restore and expand the Coindre Hall boathouse. We applaud this effort. However, if due to cost or historic reasons, this expansion cannot occur, then construction of the proposed boathouse to be built at Gold Star Battalion Memorial Beach should go forward.

To support the project, please review the documents below:

  • Letter to Mail:
  • Petition to Support the Project:
    • PDF File
      • Please return signed petitions to SRA by mail to:
        • Sagamore Rowing Association
          PO Box 453
          Glenwood Landing, NY 11547
      • ... or give to any SRA board member, and we will present them to the town board. They can be returned even if some signature lines are empty. Thank you for your support!
