MAX BORGHARD HEAD COACH
Max Borghard became the head coach of Rutgers women’s crew in 1995. Under his leadership, the Scarlet Knights have qualified for the NCAA Division I National Championships three times, in 1997, 1998 and 2001. Rutgers was one of only eight teams in the country to earn a full-team bid to the first ever NCAA Championships in 1997. In conference and league championships, his crews have amassed 26 BIG EAST medals and four Eastern Association of Women’s Rowing Colleges (EAWRC) titles. Borghard’s coaching philosophy is based on two mainstays: work hard and love the sport. As a result, his mentoring extends beyond the Rutgers boathouse. Sharon Kriz ’98 finished second at the 1997 U-23 World Championships as a member of the US straight four and fourth at Senior Worlds in the US women’s eight. Maite Urtasun ’01, a two-time First Team All-American, made four senior national teams and the 2004 Olympic team as a spare. In 2002, Urtason was a World Champion in the US women’s eight. Borghard has also mentored numerous All-Region Scholar-Athletes and BIG EAST Academic All-Stars, and several of his former student-athletes currently coach at Division I collegiate rowing programs.

Before returning to his alma mater, Borghard coached at Dartmouth College from 1989-1995. He coached the Big Green freshmen lightweights to a bronze medal at the 1990 Eastern Sprints and to gold in 1991. On the national level, Borghard served as an assistant coach for the US Junior Men’s National Team in 1991, 1992 and 1994. He coached the junior men’s double to a gold medal at the 1991 Olympic Festival in Los Angeles and assisted with the junior men’s eight that won gold in Montreal, Canada in 1992. Borghard, a native of Long Island, N.Y., began rowing in high school under the tutelage of his father, Al Borghard. A graduate of Rutgers, he received his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1987. He captained the Rutgers lightweights his junior and senior years while stroking the varsity lightweight eight to back-to-back Eastern Sprints bronze medals. Capping off a successful collegiate rowing career, Borghard was selected to two consecutive US National Teams in 1986 and 1987.
ASSISTANT COACHES HEATHER PUTNAM
JESSICA WOJSLAW
ASSISTANT COACH SEVENTH SEASON
ASSISTANT COACH THIRD SEASON
Heather Putnam returns to Rutgers as the Varsity Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. Putnam coached the Scarlet Knights Freshmen/Novice squad from 2002-06. She returned to the banks in 2008 as the Varsity Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. In her two years away from the Banks, Putnam earned a Master’s in Education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and served as the Graduate Assistant for UMass Women’s Rowing. In her first stint with the Scarlet Knights, Putnam led the 2005 Novice Eight to a gold medal at the Big East Championship and a 7th place finish at the Eastern Sprints. Her crews also brought home Big East silver medals in 2003 and 2004 and a bronze medal in 2006. Prior to Rutgers, Putnam spent the 2001-02 season at the U.S. Naval Academy. Following a successful fall campaign in which Navy’s Novice Women won the Navy Day Regatta, the Head of the Schuylkill and the combined men’s and women’s points trophy at the Princeton Freshmen Invite, the First Novice Eight went 15 and 1 in regular spring season competition. Both her First and Second Novice Eights then qualified for the Grand Finals at Eastern Sprints. Finishing 6th overall, the 2002 novices were Navy’s first ever women’s crews to qualify for an Eastern Sprints Final in an eight-oared event. Putnam served as an intern for the Princeton Lightweight Women from 1999-2001. Her 2001 novice lightweight eight won gold at the Eastern Sprints and both freshmen classes went on to contribute to IRA national titles in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
Jessica Wojslaw enters her third year as the second assistant coach for the Scarlet Knights. Wojslaw is primarily responsible for developing the novice squad. She also plays an instrumental role in overall team development and recruiting. A graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Wojslaw served as team captain her senior year. She was a member of the varsity squad that qualified for the NCAA Championship in 2007 and 2008. Wojslaw also helped the Herons to a New York State Championship and three consecutive Liberty League Championships. Wojslaw earned a B.A. in Political Science and International Relations in 2008. She was named a Helen Heath scholar, selected to the dean’s list, and selected to the Liberty League All-Academic Team three consecutive years. Prior to joining the Scarlet Knights, Wojslaw served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, working with both varsity and novice athletes and coordinating team travel. A native of Norwalk, CT, Wojslaw spent her summers racing and training at Saugatuck Rowing Club.
SUPPORT STAFF

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING Rutgers rowing is fortunate to have fulltime strength and conditioning coaches available for both in-season and offseason conditioning. To compete at the highest level of Division I rowing, a sound strength and conditioning program is a necessity, not a luxury. At Rutgers, the members of the rowing team engage in the strength and conditioning program in order to become stronger and more Dana Ferraro explosive athletes. The time spent both Assistant Coach for Strength during the competitive season, as well as and Conditioning the off-seasons, pays great dividends. A well-conditioned team has a better chance of coming out on top. Dana Ferraro, an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for Olympic sports, has worked with women’s rowing since arriving at Rutgers in Jan. 2009. She also coaches the women’s golf team and assists with women’s basketball, women’s soccer and softball. Ferraro is a 2008 graduate of Stony Brook University where she earned a degree in Health Scicence. She received her certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and is also certified in CPR and Basic Life Saving for Healthcare Professionals. A four-year starter on the Seawolves basketball team, Ferraro served as team captain and was named America East Defensive Player of the Year. She also finished her career with over 1,000 rebounds.
SPORTS MEDICINE
Kathy Galli
Dedicated concern is the hallmark of the sports medicine staff at Rutgers. Headed by Dr. Robert Monaco, the RU sports medicine staff consists of 12 athletic trainers. In addition, the staff is assisted by orthopedic consultants, dentists, drug education counselors, a psychological team and student athletic trainers, as well as many other branches of medical consultants.
Assistant Athletic Trainer
Treatment and rehabilitation are done in one of three separate athletic training rooms where the latest modalities for electrical stimulation and progressive resistance are available. Computerized testing, many forms of aerobic conditioning apparatuses, an x-ray room and the new Hale Center “wet room” that includes a hot tub, cold tub and Hydroworks underwater treadmill are available so that the sports medicine staff can tailor a specific program of rehabilitation for each individual. Kathy Galli is in her 26th year as an Athletic Trainer at Rutgers University. She is a 1983, University of Rhode Island graduate, having earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education with an emphasis in Athletic Training. In 1984, she received her Master of Science in Athletic Training from the University of Arizona and has been NATA certified since.

RUTGERS ROWING
HISTORY OF RUTGERS CREW Women’s rowing began as a club sport at Rutgers in 1974. A rising tide of interest, plus support from the men’s coaching staff and University, quickly led to varsity status for the women’s program in 1977.
Today, the varsity eights compete for the Raritan Cup and Class of ’89 Plate is awarded to the team with the most points. The first NCAA National Women’s Rowing Championships, held in 1997 in Sacramento, Calif., marked yet another milestone for Rutgers. Placing all three varsity boats – the first and second varsity eight and the varsity four – in the grand finals at Easter Sprints that season, his outstanding effort earned the Scarlet Knights a team bid to
As a result, Rutgers is one of the longest-standing varsity women’s rowing teams in the country. In the spring of 1977, Rutgers joined the Women’s Eastern Sprints League, now known as the Eastern Association of Women’s Rowing Colleges (EAWRC). the national championship. The EAWRC is the oldest league nationally and the most competitive in the East coast.
Rutgers was one of only eight teams in the country to qualify for NCAAs as a team that inaugural year.
Another long-standing tradition at Rutgers is the Cornell/Penn tri-race. Rutgers won the first competition in 1978. At thirty years old, this one of the oldest continuously contested women’s races in the country. To commemorate this annual event, the Raritan Cup was introduced in April 1994.
The varsity four’s gold medal performance at Sprints in 1998 once again qualified Rutgers for NCAAs. In 2001, the first varsity eight capped an outstanding spring season with a seventh-place finish at Sprints and a bid to the national championship.
In the program for the inaugural race for the Raritan Cup on Saturday, April 16, 1994, it read, “Cornell, Penn and Rutgers women’s crew have competed annually in a triangular race for nearly the entire period of the modern era of women’s collegiate rowing; so the choice of a cup to present the winner of the women’s varsity race each year is quite appropriate to pay tribute to that tradition. The Raritan Cup is an inspiration for the oarswomen of all three institutions to continue this high level of competition for years to come.”
Former athletics administrator Rita Kay Thomas christens a new shell, named in her honor; Thomas was instrumental in elevating women’s rowing to varsity status in 1977.

RUTGERS ROWING
RUTGERS ON THE NATIONAL TEAM Rutgers has produced some outstanding rowers in its history, many of whom have gone on to illustrious careers for the U.S. National and Olympic teams. Six Rutgers alumni found their way onto the U.S. Olympic Rowing Team for the 2000 Sydney Games. SHARON KRIZ (RC ’98) Kriz competed for the U.S. at the 2005 World Championships in the women’s eight, finishing fourth. Highlights of Kriz’ career on the National Team included a bronze medal at the 2005 Bearing Point World Cup in Munich and a silver medal at the 1997 World Rowing Under 23 Championships. TOM TERHAAR (RC ’90) At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Terhaar coached the U.S. women’s eight to a gold medal. The victory, which was the first in the event at the Olympics since 1984, came on the heels of back-to-back world titles in the event in 2006 and 2007. In 2007, he also coached the women’s four to a gold medal. For his efforts, Terhaar won the USOC’s 2007 Coach of the Year Award for rowing and was one of five finalists for the USOC’s National Coach of the Year. In 2006, Terhaar’s eight not only won the world title but it also set a world’s best time in the process. In 2004, Terhaar coached the U.S. women’s eight to a world record in the heat and a silver medal at the Olympic Games. It was the first time the U.S. had won an Olympic medal in the event since 1984. Terhaar was named head women’s coach in 2001. In just his second year as women’s head coach, he led the women’s eight to a gold medal at the 2002 FISA World Championships in Seville, Spain. In 2003, his women’s four won the gold medal. In 2000, he coached the women’s quadruple sculls to fifth place at the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. In 1998, he was named the USOC’s 1998 Developmental Coach of the Year for the sport of rowing.
JENNIFER DORE-TERHAAR (RC ’93) A 10-time national team member and twotime Olympian, Dore-Terhaar earned numerous distinctions as a world class athlete. In addition to rowing in the quad in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, she won silver medals in the eight at the 1993 and 1994 World Rowing CHampinships and stroked the U.S. gold medal eight in 1995. She returned to elite rowing in 2003 to once again represent the U.S. at the World Championships in the women’s eight. LESLIE BURNS-RAWLEY (RC ’92) A member of the national team for two years, from 1997-99, Burns-Rawley competed in the single sculls in two FISA World Championships. She also took second in the 1999 Pan American games, as well as the 1998 Amsterdam Maas Holland-Bekes.

T I M P E R N E TT I DIRECTOR OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS A lifetime New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come full-circle in becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former student-athlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Intercollegiate of Athletics on February 26, 2009. He will oversee 24 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the university’s peer institutions. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics has 212 employees and an annual budget of approximately $56 million, roughly 3 percent of the university’s total $1.8 billion budget. Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993, and a master’s degree in communication in 1995. Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all screens for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports. Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previously CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multimedia leader in college sports programming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008. Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creating multiplatform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways to serve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major conference, securing over 2,500 hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10. Further he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a women’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the Big East Conference. In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast network and online. Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the forefront of the development and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns

champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original production including CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and the WIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches during game action. Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABCTV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college football, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with all of the major collegiate conferences. As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commentator for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio. A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Danielle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.

A BRIEF HISTORY
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick. Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers. Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education in 1924. In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women (later Douglass College) was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey. A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. An ambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Graduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work. Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged. In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 62 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 180 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sciences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world. A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences. With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than 10,000 students each year, and has more than 350,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. Universitywide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century. Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university’s goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.
