PBC men fall in line for head race season

Yep. Fall is here. After an insanely successful summer, PBC’s Men’s Sweep Team is gearing up for this weekend’s Scullers Head of the Potomac (SHOP), as well as another successful head race season. This may be the best fall for the men in a long time … but they usually do pretty well, right, PBC?!

Below are a few photos taken during yesterday’s deary, drizzly morning practice.  Apologies for the fuzzy ones (photos, that is). We weren’t expecting it to be so dark for so long already!

See you at the SHOP on Sunday!

Henley 2010 – Men’s Sweep Practice

Below are some random photos taken of Potomac Boat Club’s Men’s Sweep practice, on Thursday, June 3, 2010.  This year, the men return to the UK, to compete in the Henley Royal Regatta (June 30 – July 4).

We hope to have more information on the lineup and race schedule soon.  Stay tuned.

Men’s Sweep Practice August 2008

Men’s Sweep Practice August 2008

Below are a few photos of the Men’s Sweep Team taken back in August 2008. Although Coach Mark Borchelt may have been too busy coaching to have taken all of the pictures on this particular day (…we think there were more than 800 total?), he happens to be a professional photographer, as well as a longtime PBC senior member.

We hope this Gallery will inspire members from all of our competitive teams to start sharing their photos online with us here at The Potomac Star. If you have photos, links to photo collections, or photo ideas that you would like to share, please contact us at editor@potomacstar.com.

By the way, you can find out more about Mark as a photographer at Borchelt Photography. And if you would like to see Mark in action as a rower, just take a close look at the photo above (you might have to click on it for a better view … ).  That’s Mark in the bow of the lead Pair without coxswain (2-), the event he won with Lt. Terry Adams at the Henley Royal Regatta back in 1973!
