After winning their heats at
the Smokey Jacobs Regatta, the Robinson and
Jefferson girls' varsity eight boats appeared
set on a collision course to re-create the
thrilling finish to last year's Virginia State
Championships, which the Rams won by 1.6
seconds. But because of equipment failure and an
actual collision, the rematch will have to wait.
"I really wish that hadn't
happened," said Robinson Coach Rob Wasalaski,
whose girls' varsity eight won the
1,500-meter race in 5 minutes 38.1 seconds.
"I don't think we have an assessment of
where everyone is because of T.J. having
equipment problems."

"He's very determined. He's very
fearless," Coach John Barrett said of All-Met
Kyle Browne. "There's
nothing he thinks that he can't do."

Around the Area: The Robinson girls'
varsity eight looks to be the strongest team in the area.
The Rams return seven girls from last year's boat, which won the
Virginia state championship. They are led by All-Met senior Bianca
Arrington, who will row at
Alabama, and senior Lauren Griffin, who will row at
George Mason. "Our team's on a mission to raise the bar to a
level it's never been at Robinson," said Coach Rob Wasalaski. They're
aiming to repeat at states, and be competitive at nationals. The team
will skip the Stotesbury Cup Regatta to focus on SRAA Nationals, which
are held in Oak Ridge,
Tenn., May 23-24.

 Danica Canfield was a Class of 2004 coxswain
who suffered sudden cardiac arrest and died on January
14, 2002 during crew land training at Robinson. She had a undiagnosed cardiac
condition, ARVD. In her memory, an automated external
