I may not be at re-rigging, I have an exam

This member of our team is proud to be able to touch her tongue to her nose. However, it may be difficult to acquire a demonstration of this talent owing to the fact that she is part of the infamous crew which was received the ‘disappearing act’ award. As part of the questionnaire which was sent around to all of us going down to Georgia in order to gain some useful information for each person’s biography; she responded in a similar fashion to the majority of the team – with a “Land Before Time” reference.  Anyway, her favorite dinosaur is Petrie the Pteranodon. She claims that she ‘may or may not’ be the subject of a tragically hip song, the operative words in that sentence being ‘may or may not’. Unlike most others for this trip, who responded to the question ‘what are you most looking forward to’ with something to do with, food, American stereotypes or Honey Boo Boo, she is most excited to be able to row and then not worry about falling asleep in class later. This is something that wouldn’t be a problem if we decided to practice at a ‘normal’ time, hint hint coaches. Some say that if she was mayor, she would have called something better than transit busses to transport her football team, and that she recently launched her own line of designer Tupperware. All I know is, her name is Alex Stefanovski

Rowing Fast and Taking Names


Serbian, lightweight, cerise and blue,  NDCO. These are just a few words which can be used to describe this member of the crew going down to Georgia with us. With the exception of the Head of the Trent regatta she won her event in every regatta this fall – notably including the Head of the Charles regatta. As with Jill, she would prefer to spend an evening in a onesie (aka snuggie) eating food. This is starting to seem like a bit of a trend with lightweight women – onesies, nothing against them, just an observation. Clocking in at 8.750 vertically stacked pencil crayons tall, she has spent most of her life in St Catherines, the self-proclaimed center of rowing in Canada (where are the national team training centers again?). Some say that she once beat a heavyweight man at bench press and she has recently developed an irrational hatred of Rubens Barrichello, Wait, no she didn’t develop a hatred, because unlike the Stig, she has not been beaten by him. Anyway, all we know is, it’s Sara Matovic.
