Schuylkill Regatta held in· Philly

by Karen Schweizer staff writer

Athletes from all over the nation came to the city last weekend for the annual Schuylkill Regatta, a race held by the University Barge Club of Philadelphia that pi~ scull boat crews in over 24 events along a 2.6-rnile Schuylkill River course.

The course races consisted of both individual and collegiate teams Bringing out many of the local universities, including Temple, St. Josephs, LaSalle, Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and Drexel. Collegiate races and Championship eights, ended in wins by Princeton Training Center and Syracuse University. The University of Pennsylvania came in second in Championship eights women.

Supporters of the teams and spectators lined Kelly Drive and watched from a grandstand as the scull boats raced throughout the day. People were encouraged to visit a Thomas Eakins exhibit in the Philadelphia Art Museum following the races.

Thomas Eakins was a realist painter who depicted rowing and sculling along the Schuylkill's banks. His exhibit features over 60 oil paintings, 120 photos and various watercolors and drawings. During his life Eakins was an avid oarsman and was persuaded by friends to become a professional in races. Thomas Eakins is the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta and the races on Saturday were held in his name.

The women's field hockey team has had many successes and many defeats this past year. The team has overcome injuries major and minor, yet the team seems to shine through it all and that makes the Cabrini community very proud.

One member of the team is a shining star and has proved it to everyone by making her 100th goal this year. Nicole Schulz, a senior, has played for Cabrini's field hockey team for the past four years. Nicole became interested in playing field hockey by watching her sister's high school team play. When Nicole became a freshman in high school she joined the high school team and became involved with the sport. Throughout her years of playing field hockey Nicole has suffered scraps and 6ruises but no real serious injuries that could have not made her play.

Now, Nicole is finishing up her final year at Cabrini, the Early Childhood Education major, hopes to stay involved with the sport by teaching children about field hockey. When asked about making the 100th goal in her field hockey career; the modest athlete says, "It is such a great accom- plishment. I did not know that I made it till the marked it down, and later on they told me."

Nicole really has no dislikes about playing field hockey, yet she likes everything about it. She states, 'That it keeps me healthy and more erganized. I like playing with the team, being on the field, and winning." Nicole has such a positive attitude when she speaks of field hockeyjust by talking to her on the phone makes a person feel more excited about the sport.

Having a person like Nicole who is so excited about field hockey is a blessing and that is why the Cabrini College community will miss her after she graduates; along with the lady's field hockey team.
