Just Keep Swimming
The latest event with results relevant to UofL is the 4x200 Freestyle Relay. Mallory Comerford, with a 2nd leg split of 1:56.92, helped the team to another gold medal. Joining Mallory on the podium for this event were Leah Smith, Melanie Margalis, and Katie Ledecky.
In other events, Kelsi Worrell will be headed to the semi-final of the 50 Fly, her specialty event, recording a personal best of 25.65 in the prelims. That puts here only .15 off of the American Record held by Dana Vollmer. Sarah Sjostrom posted a 25.25 in her heat to advance, and will be the odds-on favorite to win the event overall.
Just Keep Rowing
Paulie and I have both had the opportunity several times to speak with Rowing Head Coach Derek Copeland, and have enjoyed every minute of those conversations.
One of the least visible programs at UofL, despite the huge number of athletes involved, the Rowing team has a new Associate Head Coach in Sheila Rinozzi.
Rinozzi has been an assistant coach with the program for 3 years and has been a part of the program's meteoric rise is prominence on the national scene. While the change in title reflects the trust and respect for Rinozzi, and, we presume, a salary adjustment to boot, the role she will play with the program likely will not change drastically. As Copeland put it, "Assigning Sheila the title of associate head coach was an easy decision as she has already been contributing to the program at this level since the day she arrived".
We look forward to the annual Red and Black Regatta for the Rowing program, usually held in the October timeframe, on the Louisville waterfront near the UofL boathouse. This is always a fantastic event, and we would encourage all UofL sports fans to take the opportunity to head down and cheer on a program that just doesn't get as much visibility typically. The boathouse is spectacular, a real sight to behold.
Oh yeah, and they also always have a nice spread of food for everyone to eat lunch.
