Waterless rowing

An enthusiastic crowd urges on Arts & Sciences sophomore Jake Galgon (center) at the St. Louis Indoor Rowing Championships Feb. 3 in Francis Gym. Washington University Crew and the St. Louis Rowing Club host the annual competition, which has averaged more than 100 participants a year for 12 years. Three high schools participated, as did universities from Missouri and Illinois. The University swept the collegiate events, with most team members setting personal records. Galgon, who comes from a rowing family, was stricken with Lyme disease in high school. He took second in the collegiate men's novice 2,000-meter timed race.
