Steve Gladstone Retirement Celebration

The Yale Heavyweight Crew will be rowing Saturday, June 10 along the Thames River near New London, CT in the 156th Yale Harvard Regatta, the oldest intercollegiate contest in the United States.  This will be an exciting contest given Yale's strong performance on May 14 at the Eastern Sprints Rowing Regatta in Worcester, MA.  The Yale Heavyweight Crew captured gold in the first and third-varsity grand finals, defeating Harvard who finished fourth in both events.  This was the seventh-straight year that the Yale first varsity finished first, and helped secure the Ivy League Championship.

This will also be Coach Steve Gladstone's final race as head coach of the Yale Heavyweight Crew.  He was recently named the Ivy League Coach of the year.  He was already regarded as one of the premier rowing coaches in the United States when he took over the Yale heavyweight crew in 2010, and he is now the most successful coach in IRA National Championships history, having won the last three with the Bulldogs.
