10/2/2008:
An all team (Varsity and Novice) practice is
scheduled for this:
Saturday, October 4th
from 12:00
P.M. to 3:00 P.M.
As usual, be ten minutes
early arriving to the boathouse and get ready for
extreme technique work. Remember, we have two big races
next weekend. Attendance is mandatory. If you have any
conflicts, please make sure to tell Blondy or Myles
ASAP.
In addition, as voted by
the executed board, a new attendance policy will be
enacted beginning tomorrow. The details is as
follows:
Allowed two (2) unexcused absences every three
weeks.
After two unexcused absences:
First Absence: 10k erg piece on the next Saturday at
9:00 A.M.
Second Absence: 10k + Coaches Meeting
Third Absence: No participation will
be allowed in next regatta (must still attend race)
Fourth Absence: Executive board will review your
status on this team.
Also, lateness will not be
tolerated. For every minute late, ten (10) jumpies will
be required at the end of practice and arriving 15
minutes late will count towards an unexcused absence.
Any questions can be directed to Blondy
or Myles. Remember, you will be still allowed
excused absences, but they must be valid.
One final update: The Iowa Mens
Rowing Team has once again made the Daily Iowan. This is
quite a feat for this organization since recognition
outside of non-recreational teams is extremely
limited at this university. Here is the link:
