Harry Emerson Vail, a former rower, captain (1892-93) and assistant coach at Harvard for seven years, was hired at Wisconsin after E. R. Sweetland, former Cornell rower, resigned after only three winter months on the job. Vail immediately made an impact on the Badger rowers, as chronicled by the Wisconsin State Journal of March 11, 1911, “All of the crew men like the strapping giant, who peels o his citizen clothes and gets into the gym suit to show them how to operate an oar in a shell.” A year later, Vail's varsity placed second to Cornell by only three seconds over four miles at the Poughkeepsie Regatta. Over the summer of 1914, the UWmedical faculty and the Athletic Council decided to ban crew as causing an enlarged heart and therefore being a danger to the athletes. Vail a nationally known sculler and coach, was therefore forced to bide his time at Wisconsin and wait ten more years before returning to the Hudson to compete again in the Poughkeepsie Regatta. His perseverance kept a national crew perspective at Madison. Later studies proved the heart, a muscle, enlarges like any other exercised muscle, and that rowers showed a lower risk of premature death over their lifetimes than non-athletes. During this period, crew became a club sport for some of the years and, after the ban was removed for the 1920-21 season, returned to shortcourse races against other colleges for the balance of the years. Vail is credited by all for maintaining a campus spirit for the sport of crew and for helping to bring it back to varsity status in the early 1920's. e truth is, crew would probably have never died completely, given the inherent advantages to the sport on a Madison campus situated between two large lakes. In 1924, Vail returned to the Hudson River and his varsity eight again took 2nd place at the Poughkeepsie Regatta. During the 1920's, Vail would host opposing crews and coaches that would touch him or Wisconsin in later years. Future Wisconsin coaches-Washington rowers Mike Murphy and Norm Sonju, rowed in Madison in the 1920's against Vail-coached Wisconsin crews. Washington Coach “Rusty” Callow (later a Penn and, nally, the Navy head crew coach)visited Madison with his crews in 1927 and was so moved by Vail's warmth, humor and humility, that he would later initiate, in 1934, the rst “Dad” Vail trophy in a regatta that later o cially became the “Dad” Vail Regatta. It is today the largest collegiate regatta in the nation, attracting men's and women's Division II crews and new crew programs from Division I colleges. When “Dad” Vail died in his native Canada in 1928, Wisconsin State Journal Sports Editor, Henry J. McCormick, who rowed for Vail, wrote of his mentor's death, he “never had a more abiding a ection for anyone” than he felt for Vail. Meet “Dad” Vail

A History of the The Dad Vail Regatta is rich in history and traditions which make it unlike any other regatta in the country. The historical beginning in 1934 would not have been possible without the insights and unselfish leadership of its founders, Russel Stanley “Rusty” Callow and Lev Brett, the architect. Callow first saw the need to provide a regatta for programs which did not have the resources to compete at the highest level and for emerging programs not ready to compete at the highest level. With stops at the University of Washington (1922-1927); the University of Pennsylvania (1927-1950); and the United States Naval Academy (1950-1959) where he coached the 1952 Olympic gold medal eight, Callow wanted to hold a race for his colleague and friend Harry Emerson “Dad” Vail. For the first race in 1934, Callow donated a trophy called the “Dad” Vail Trophy in honor of his friend who at the time was the coach at the University of Wisconsin which had limited resources, less than adequate workout space, and no indoor rowing tank. Callow wrote that Harry Emerson “Dad” Vail was a beloved person. He was called dad by his rowers and epitomized what the Dad Vail Regatta stands for in his caring for people, his display of sportsmanship, and his positive and persevering attitude. (U. T. Bradley, circa 1961). After the Dad Vail Regatta began in 1934, the founding members realized structure was needed for the regatta to grow and better serve its constituents. In 1939 the Dad Vail Regatta became organized with a slate of officers and a constitution thanks in large part to Lev Brett, who had the impetus for the formation and as a result the regatta became known as the Dad Vail Rowing Association. Another important change for the regatta came in 1989 when they became a 501(c)(3) so volunteers could be protected from the risks associated with being a part of the Dad Vail Regatta; this was a relatively new protection granted by the state of Pennsylvania for incorporated organizations. With this needed change, the Dad Vail Regatta’s corporate identity became the Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee. The Dad Vail Regatta and its leadership have changed over the years but the basic principle of providing a regatta that serves the interests and needs of all rowing programs has remained consistent throughout its history. The most recent change is having its first female President, Kirsten Ledwith Morasco to continue in the tradition of great leaders. Morasco exemplifies the importance of volunteerism and family involvement in running the Dad Vail Regatta. Her father, Matt Ledwith, long term Dad Vail Official, introduced his children to the enjoyment and rewards of working with other volunteers. Other outstanding leaders who preceded Morasco were Lev Brett (1939-1950), Anthony Savarese (1950-1952), Jim Nesworthy (1952-1954), Jack Bratten (1954-1966), Richard O’Brien (1966-1971), Tom Conville (1971-1977), Jack Galloway (1977-2001), and most recently Jim Hanna (2001-2023). The featured event of the Dad Vail Regatta has been the men’s and women’s varsity heavyweight eight. Throughout its history, which spans over eight and a half decades, five rowing programs helped develop their crews by competing in the Dad Vail Regatta before moving on to the IRA. These programs were Rutgers University with seven wins (1935-1942), Boston University with four victories (1947-1950), Dartmouth College with two (1954-1955), Brown University with three (1959-1961), and Northeastern University with one (1965). Marietta College won the first Dad Vail Regatta in 1934. The following year, Rutgers University began its seven-year win streak until the event had to be put on hold for four years (1943-1946) because of World War II. The success of Rutgers University in the 30s and 40s resulted in the retiring of the first “Dad” Vail Trophy to Rutgers, which coincided with Rutgers advancing to the IRA. In 1947 Lev Brett, Chair of the Board of Stewards, provided the second Dad Vail trophy which he presented to Head Coach James Nesworthy By Bill Jurgens You are cordially invited to attend The President’s Press Conference in recognition of the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta Friday, May 10, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. to be convened in the Camden County Boathouse Located at 7050 N.

Dad Vail Regatta of Boston University. In the 50s, LaSalle University twice won three consecutive men’s varsity eight races for a total of six victories (1951-1953 and 1956-1958). The 60s saw Georgetown University and Marietta College fighting it out for dominance with Georgetown winning four times (1962, 1964, 1968, and 1969) and Marietta with three victories (1963, 1967, and 1968). The 70s saw the emergence of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy who won six times (1972, and 1975-1979), The 80s began the long-term dominance of Temple University with six victories (1983-1987, and 1989) and Florida Tech (FIT) followed with two wins (1982 and 1988). The 90s were a complete dominance by Temple’s men’s varsity eight (1990-1999). The first decade of the 2000s saw three programs with at least two wins; Temple University with four (2000-2001 and 2003-2004), University of Michigan with two (2005 and 2009), and Purdue University with two (20072008). In the 2010’s decade, there were three programs with two victories; University of Michigan (2010 and 2011), Florida Tech (2015 and 2016), and Drexel University (2013 and 2017). The Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the 2020s-decade, Temple won in 2021 before Drexel registered three victories (2022, 2023 and 2024). The Dad Vail Regatta introduced women’s rowing competition in 1976 with the varsity eight as the featured event. Ithaca College won two out of the four varsity eight races in the 70s (1976 and 1979). In the 80s, Western Ontario won three times (1981,1982 and 1989) with the University of New Hampshire winning two (1985 and 1986). The only team in the 90s to win more than once was Temple University with two (1994 and 1996). The first decade of the 2000s saw the University of Massachusetts winning twice (2002 and 2003). In the 2010’s decade, the University of Massachusetts won three times (2014-2016) and Boston University won twice (2018 and 2019). The Dad Vail Regatta was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the 2020s-decade, Drexel University won in 2021, Princeton University won in 2022, Boston University won in 2023, and Drexel won in 2024. The Jack Bratten Overall Point Trophy was established in 1967 to recognize the men’s overall champion, which in 1976 became the combined men’s and women’s overall champion. With the expansion of teams and events two additional all-point trophies were established in 1986: the Nancy J. Seitz Women’s All-Point Trophy and the Dr. Thomas Kerr Men’s All-Point Trophy. The traditions and practices of the Dad Vail Regatta are a big part of its success. A banquet is held on Friday evening following racing action to recognize volunteers for their service; to celebrate the 25th and 50th anniversary winners of the men’s and women’s varsity eights and to recognize the Coach of the Year along with the Volunteer of the Year. Volunteers who have been with the regatta for five years receive a Dad Vail Regatta Lapel Pin and volunteers who have been with the regatta for 10 years receive their highly coveted Gold Jacket. Another important tradition is showing appreciation for the communities surrounding the regatta by hosting an art poster contest for high school students and providing paid internships for the underrepresented population of local college students. It has always been a goal of the Dad Vail Regatta to provide the coaches and studentathletes with an experience that will last for a lifetime.

Historically speaking, the Temple University Men’s Crew program is synonymous with success in the Varsity Heavyweight Eight Race at the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta. Entering last year’s grand finale, the Owls tasted victory 22 times, including 13 in a row from 1989 – 2001. When Temple reached the Grand Finale last year, they entered the race hoping to end local rival Drexel’s four year run of winning the event. As Temple prepared for last year’s event, they knew the talk was about the newly forged rivalry between LaSalle and Drexel and who would emerge victorious. Playing the ‘underdog’ role, the Owls relished the opportunity to play spoiler. “The year was driven by a core group of athletes that made it very clear early in the season what they wanted and set forth the effort to get there,” said Brendan Cunningham, Temple Men’s Head Coach. “The previous year their season was cut short, and I believe they made it their goal to return to the IRAs as a team. There was a close race in the 2024 Dad Vail final and I believe it set the tone for the following year.” With one goal in mind, Temple set the pace early finishing first in their time trial with a time of 5:31. In their semi-final heat they controlled the race from the start eventually besting local rival St. Joseph’s finishing with the second fastest time thus setting up what would be a dramatic finish in the grand finale. As they had done in their preparation leading up to the finale, the Owls jumped out to an early eight-seat lead. As the race progressed LaSalle narrowed the gap to a one-seat lead with 500 meters remaining. That would be the closest the Explorers would get and Temple would hold on to win the Richard O’Brien - Jim Hanna Trophy for the 23rd time in school history. “The Owls did a great job of putting their bow in front and keeping it there,” Cunningham said. “The Owls rowed their race, and the coxswain executed the race plan. The crew did an outstanding job of staying within their gunnels and controlling the controllables. Credit to all nine athletes in the boat for going out and accomplishing what they set out to do.” At this year’s Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta, the Owls are hoping to duplicate last year’s success in the Heavyweight Varsity Eight, the Second Varsity Eight and Freshman 8 with their new system in place. Cunningham said, “We have one of the best coaching staffs in the country. It’s a team effort and we’ve implemented a development system to take a new group every year and get everyone on the same page by May. Credit to the assistants of the program, Coach Scott Waters, Coach Dan Goettner and Coach BJ Fox for contributing to the speed we saw through the fall in every boat. The fall and winter season has been productive in terms of teaching the rowing stroke and learning to race. We kicked off the season early with some side-by-side matchups. It was helpful for breaking up the fall training blocks and preparing the athletes for the side by side racing they will see this spring.” Great Day to be a Temple Owl as they capture Men’s Varsity Eight Race by Ed Levin

As the Drexel women prepared for the Varsity Heavyweight Eight Grand Finale they gathered one final time before climbing into the shell and knew they had to follow the plan that got them to where they were – teamwork will be key. After posting the fastest time during time trials and the second fastest time in the semi-final, Drexel knew they would have their hands full in the final against talented squads like Georgetown, St. Joseph’s and Temple. In the final, the Dragons got off to a quick start with Georgetown right on their heels. As Drexel continued to lead and hold off a charging Georgetown, St. Joseph’s started to creep up and challenge for the lead. As the race headed into the final 1/4 the Hoyas and Dragons both ramped up their speed and were clocking the same row rate. Appearing like Georgetown would come from behind the Dragons made one final surge and overtook the Hoyas to capture their second consecutive crown. “We had a group that trusted each other and stuck to the plan, said head coach Paul Savell. “Nobody tried to be a hero—we had nine people all doing their job at the same time, which in rowing is usually a good strategy. We stayed composed, executed when it counted, and didn’t panic when things weren’t perfect… which was important because perfect rarely shows up.” “Winning back-to-back titles at Dad Vails felt unreal,” said Hannah Walseth. “Crossing the finish line felt like a mix of relief, pride, and pure excitement! Being the returning champions meant that there was added pressure to prove our initial win wasn’t a one-time thing. So, coming back and doing it again really shows how strong our team culture and work ethic is.” After making history last year by repeating as champions for the first time in school history, the Dragons will look to add another page as they prepare to once again defend their crown against many talented crews. What began during the fall has continued over to the spring and with the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta now less than three weeks away, Drexel will continue to focus on its goal when they hit the Cooper River. “One of the biggest things I have tried to pass down to younger teammates is upholding Drexel’s grit and enthusiastic attitude,” Walseth said. “Being able to push through tough pieces and harsh weather, yet still show up with a smile, is what makes us so successful. We do not lose sight of having fun on and off the water, regardless of a workout’s intensity. That balance is what makes us who we are, because when you love what you are doing and who you are doing it with, it shows on race day.” “Dad Vail’s is always on our minds,” Savell said. “Every practice there is talk that builds focus on Dad Vail’s and our conference championship. Each year is completely different. Although it was back-to-back it was still a unique experience for that team. DREXEL WOMEN LOOKING FOR THREE-PEAT by Ed Levin

Fifty years ago, the Coast Guard Academy crews ruled the waters of the Schuylkill River, capturing three national championships and displaying overpowering team strength. The Academy’s varsity heavyweight eight won the Dad Vail trophy for the second straight year with a two-length victory over Trinity College. The winning time was 6:09.3. The second national championship was won by the Academy’s varsity lightweight eight and the third was won by the varsity four. The better indicator of Coast Guard’s dominance was their overall score for the Jack Bratten Trophy, awarded to the team with the most points. Coast Guard racked up 32 points to win the trophy for the third straight year. In 1976, the Coast Guard Academy cadets arrived on the shores of the Schuylkill River with the entire squad of 88 oarsmen. The Academy’s crew coach, Bill Stowe, who won a gold medal as the stroke of the 1960 USA Olympic crew, did not believe in leaving anyone at home and everyone raced every weekend in the spring season. Coach Stowe firmly believed that crew was a team sport, and the least developed oarsman deserved his attention as much as the varsity stroke. Everyone raced, much to the consternation of the budget-minded Academy’s athletic director, Captain Otto Graham. Yes, the same Otto Graham, who was a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. The Cadet oarsmen arrived on Thursday night for the Friday heats because exams were taking place on the Dad Vail weekend. To cut costs, the cadets stayed for free in the barracks of the now closed Navy base at the foot of Broad Street. We came by van, private cars, a RV and on several occasions hitchhiking. No fancy buses for this group. We trained on peanut butter sandwiches because the budget would not allow steak. In order to scout the competition Coach Stowe had managers on bikes riding up and down the river gathering any information that might be helpful to give us the small edge on race day. It was an awesome logistical effort, and we were hated for it by our jealous rivals. There was talk about the Coast Guard Academy getting thrown out of the small college league because we were too fast for the regulars. But the Academy did not have the funding, the student body size (in 1976 there were 1250 cadets at the Academy) or a paid coaching staff. The Coast Guard Academy belonged in the Dad Vail in all respects of a small college; except we were considered too fast. Sadly, Coach Stowe passed away. He was the primary reason for our success and fueled our fighting spirit. The 1976 crew team dedicates this celebration to his memory. 1976 CGA varsity heavyweight crew 50YEARSAGO

Ithaca Women’s Crew was started by a small group of lady athletes in the winter of 1975. The College did not recognize Women’s Crew as a sport, or even as a club. We had no administrative or financial support. Despite numerous hurdles, several dedicated and inspiring coaches took this group of raw novices and turned us into collegiate rowers. Soon we became a very closely knit team, gaining strength and stamina. With that came a deep desire and hunger to win. In 1976, the Dad Vail Regatta was one of the first intercollegiate regattas to host women’s rowing events. This became the pinnacle of our Spring season and we were excited! We were rowing strong and had won several races. No crews from Ithaca College had ever taken gold in the Dad Vail. Friday, the qualifying heats, our boat suffered a major setback. We couldn’t row our usual Kaschper VAK we shared with the lightweight men and their race did not finish in time to return to the Canoe Club dock. Instead, we rowed an older and heavier Pocock…finishing last. It turned out that our finish time was ahead of many finishers in the earlier heat ! We made it into the finals. whew ! The next morning came early at the Ben Franklin Motor Inn. Feeling defeated, demoralized and sluggish, we needed an attitude fix. We talked it over as a boat and our amazing coaches inspired us to simply do our very best. We were in the Varsity Women’s finals at the Dad Vail, had our Kaschper, and still had a chance to do well. Perhaps place in the top three! Launching with a cheer of ‘Have Fun’, following a brief warm up, we sat nervously at the Start, staring down the other crews. “ Sit Ready… Ready All…ROW ! “ Flying now, we had a very fast and clean start. We brought down the rating, found our rhythm and became long and strong. We gave it our all with each stroke, crushing it. Near 1000m we were swinging well, our coxswain, The Sun Maid, was counting down seats in the other shells then - we had an open water lead…With 3 lengths of open water and a gold medal WIN for this start-up crew and our dedicated coaches who always believed in us! It was pure magic for this Dream Team who still stands and rows together—as one! Champagne toasts and chugs from the Cup of the Evelyn Bergman Trophy. A good day. Go Raisins !

25Temple Crew Makes History with 13th Straight Dad Vail Title By Temple University Athletics Dominance in rowing is rarely sustained for long, but the 2001 Temple University men’s crew team turned excellence into expectation. That spring, the Owls’ varsity eight etched its place in collegiate rowing history, capturing its 13th consecutive James Hanna–Richard O’Brien Trophy at the Dad Vail Regatta. By the time Temple took the water on the Cooper River, the streak had become both a target and a testament. Year after year, challengers lined up determined to end the Owls’ reign. Year after year, Temple answered. The 2001 crew, consisting of Ferdinand Bergen, Rod Bierhuizen, Padraig Bracken, Sean Casey, Jon Hanlin, Marcus McElhenney, Mike Regan, Dave Reidy, and Marc Stephens, embodied the program’s defining traits - power, precision, and an unshakable belief in its standard. What made the 13th straight title particularly remarkable was not just the victory itself, but the continuity behind it. Generations of rowers had come through the program, each inheriting a culture built on accountability and relentless preparation. The 2001 boat carried that legacy forward, blending veteran leadership with emerging talent to maintain Temple’s grip on the sport’s most prestigious stage. In an era defined by parity across collegiate athletics, Temple’s sustained success stood apart. Thirteen consecutive championships in the varsity eight remains one of the most impressive streaks in rowing history - a benchmark of consistency and competitive excellence. The 2001 Temple Varsity Eight didn’t just extend a run; it reinforced a dynasty, ensuring that Temple’s standard would endure as the one every program continues to chase. YEARSAGO

When Steve Fiske took the helm as the Boston College women’s rowing coach, his goal was to watch his Eagles soar. Looking for ways to challenge his team and raise the level of competition Fiske felt the Dad Vail Regatta was the perfect race to achieve that goal. “I had a familiarity with the Dad Vail when I rowed at Fordham,” said Fiske, who captured a silver medal in the Varsity Four. “I knew the Dad Vail was a great race and it was perfect for a young program like ours.” After competing as a club sport for eight years, the Eagles made the transition to a varsity program and was only in its second year of varsity status when coming to Philadelphia. The previous year, the Eagles made their inaugural appearance and advanced to the Grand Finale in the Varsity Eight. Although they did not medal, Fiske viewed the trip as a successful one that would serve as a foundational piece in raising the level of the program. With Villanova entering the 2001 Dad Vail as the two-time defending champion in the Varsity Eight, Fiske knew they would be a very tough opponent. Arriving in Philadelphia having had a successful spring season to date, Fiske was confident his team could challenge for Gold. With a boat that included one freshman as well as many returners from the previous year, Fiske hoped prior experience as well as the confidence they continued to gain throughout the spring would pay dividends. From the outset, the Eagles would seize control and continue to put distance between themselves and the rest of the competition. Nearing the finish line, the Eagles saw open water and would cruise to the win. 25YEARSAGO A fledgling Boston College Eagles program Soars to victory in Varsity Eight by Ed Levin
