UNE crew team

A new crew team has been established by Sebastian Sannajust at UNE because of the school's convinient  location on the Saco River.

Sebastian Sannajust, captain of the new crew team at UNE said “When I came to UNE, I noticed a perfect place for crew, the Saco River.” Sannajust took the steps necessary to start up a team.  Crew is  very fast growing sport among colleges all over the world.  UNE crew hopes to develop fast enough so it can participate in the “Head of the Charles” race in a few years.

Many students are eager to join the crew team as an opportunity to try a new sport and to meet new people.  Taylor Marosi, a sophomore Marine Bio major, said, “I am excited to join the crew team, it’ll get me in great shape!” 

  UNE is offering two types of crew teams.  The recreational team is for kids who are interested in doing crew but don’t really know much about it.  And for those who have done it before and want a more competitiveness, there will be an actual team that will hold tryouts.  The season will be a year long.  During the winter, the team will be in the gym working out and preparing themselves for a very rigorous fall and spring training on the water. 
The UNE community is proud to announce the first boat launch within the next two weeks.  It is important to sign up while you can.  The sign up process is easy.  You can see Brian Wallace in the Campus Center, or contact Sebastian Sannajust himself.
