I have been in the rowing business for 44 years, been coaching for 35 years and been coaching at UA for almost 20 years. In all that time, I have never coached an athlete that has as much ability or drive than Blake Haxton. He is one in a million and holds a very special place in my heart. Because of that, I made it my focus to honor his rowing tenure at UA with a race dedicated in his honor. I also wanted to make sure that this would be different from other regattas. It would focus on the true spirit of competition. Getting the fastest crews together to push each other is the essence of this sport. Blake knows that and so do I. So, once again, we want to highlight the best crews in the Midwest. This event is focused on the very heart of competitive rowing — great competition. I am asking for your help as sponsors, participants and volunteers to make this one of the finest racing experiences you have attended. I also am asking for your indulgence in allowing this to be about the kids racing fast crews, and hopefully being among that special group. Please join with me, our coaching staff and our tremendous parent group and make the 2013 Blake Haxton Invitational as special as its namesake. Thank you for allowing us to work with your kids. It is a pleasure and a privilege for all of the coaches at UA Crew. 2013 HAXTON INVITATIONAL REGATTA 1 THANK YOU!

In the spring of 2009 Blake Haxton lost his legs, and nearly his life, to rare flesh-eating bacteria. Throughout his battle he endured 20 surgeries, rigorous physical therapy and is currently practicing with prosthetics and believes he may be walking again as early as next spring. Blake is in his first year of law school at the Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University and is continuing to coach with UA Crew. We are thrilled to have his knowledge and expertise back on our team. Go Little Bear Yena Zerkel! – Geoff and Gwen in LA Good luck Kaitlyn and UA Crew!

GRIGGS DAM REMOTE PARKING WITH SHUTTLE STOP 2013 HAXTON INVITATIONAL REGATTA 7 A SPECTATOR’S GUIDE to what you’ll see and hear at the 2013 Haxton Invitational Regatta The crew that’s making it look easy is most likely the one doing the best job. While you’re watching, look for – continuous, fluid motion of the rowers. The rowing motion shouldn’t have a discernible end or beginning. Synchronization. Rowers strive for perfect synchronization in the boat. Clean catches of the oarblade. If you see a lot of splash, the oarblades aren’t entering the water correctly. The catch should happen at the end of the recovery, when the hands are as far ahead of the rower as possible. Rowers who uncoil before they drop the oarblades are sacrificing speed and not getting a complete drive. Even oarblade feathering. When the blades are brought out of the water, they should all move horizontally close to the water and at the same height. It’s not easy, especially if the water is rough. The most consistent speed. Shells don’t move like a car – they’re slowest at the catch, quickest at the release. The good crews time the catch at just the right moment to maintain the speed of the shell. Rowing looks graceful, elegant and sometimes effortless when it’s done well. Don’t be fooled. Rowers haven’t been called the world’s most physically-fit athletes for nothing. A 2,000-meter rowing race demands virtually everything a human being can physically bring to an athletic competition – aerobic ability, technical talent, exceptional mental discipline, ability to utilize oxygen efficiently and in huge amounts, balance, pain tolerance, and the ability to continue to work when the body is demanding that you stop. Race times can vary considerably depending upon the course and weather conditions. Tailwinds will improve times, while headwinds and crosswinds will hamper them. If a crew “catches a crab,” it means the oarblade has entered the water at an angle instead of perpendicularly. The oarblade gets caught under the surface and will slow or even stop a shell. A “Power 10” is a call by the coxswain for 10 of the crew’s best, most powerful strokes. Good coxswains read the course to know how many strokes remain for their crew to count down to the finish. Crews are most easily identified by their oarblade design (see page 5). It doesn’t matter whether you win an Olympic medal or don’t make the finals – each crew still carries their boat back to the rack. Coxswains from first-place boats worldwide are thrown into the water by their crews. A coxswain’s job is to implement the coach’s strategy during the race, in addition to steering and letting the rowers know where they stand in the race and what they need to do to win. 8 2013 HAXTON INVITATIONAL REGATTA TYPES OF BOATS BOAT DIRECTIONS Single - one rower with two oars (scull) Double - two rowers, each with two oars (scull) Quad - four rowers, each with two oars (scull) Pair - two rowers, each with one oar (sweep) Straight Four - four rowers, each with one oar (sweep) Four With - four rowers, each with one oar and a coxswain (sweep) Eight - eight rowers, each with one oar and a coxswain (sweep) Stern - the back end of the boat Bow - the front end of the boat where the bow ball is located Port - the left side of the boat Starboard - the right side of the boat (from the coxswain’s view) *In “scull” boats, rowers have 2 oars and in “sweep” boats or “shells” each rower has one oar Note: The coxswain always faces the direction the shell is going while the rowers face the rear 2013 HAXTON T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST Upper Arlington Crew, Inc. offered a t-shirt design contest for the Haxton Invitational Regatta! A special thanks to Missy Haines, art teacher at Upper Arlington High School for her assistance with this exciting project!

Steinberg as the 2013 Haxton Invitational Level Sponsor. OSU Wexner Medical Center is a national leader in personalized health care and known for delivering outstanding medical services to our community. OSU’s vision statement focuses on teamwork and working as one organization though they have many different practice areas/specialties—the same concept is found in rowing. A boat lineup is a combination of several individual athletes who also succeed when in sync and working together as a team. Thank you OSU Wexner Medical Center for your support of the Haxton! HOSPITALITY TENT SPONSORED BY GALLO’S KITCHEN AND BAR Another back by demand event is the Hospitality Tent, a controlled access hospitality tent. Patrons of the Hospitality Tent will enjoy a distinctive viewing experience including food catered by Gallo’s Kitchen and Bar and Panera, first glance at race results and access to your own bathroom facilities (port-o-john). The Hospitality Tent will sit on the east side of the Scioto River along the river’s edge immediately across from the finishing tent and will have an unparalleled view of the finishing line.

If you’ve never rowed before, please take a moment to stop by and test your luck. It’s not as easy as it looks! TENT CITY SPONSORED BY THE CHARIS FOUNDATION Rowing teams from all over the Midwest will gather at the 2013 Haxton Invitational and will spread their tents, trailers, equipment, and gear along with a mountain of food along the banks of Griggs Reservoir. “Tent City” will be a busy place with hundreds of athletes enjoying the crisp fall weather while preparing for their events during the regatta. “Tent City” is the unofficial home of the rowers from sunrise to almost dusk on regatta day. The Haxton “Tent City” sits high on the riverbank and provides a wonderful view of the finish line of the Haxton Invitational. We are pleased to have The Charis Foundation as the Team sponsor of “Tent City” again this year. QUESTIONS DURING THE EVENT? HELP UA GO GREEN AT THE HAXTON If you have any questions or need assistance during the Haxton Invitational, please look for volunteers wearing Haxton jackets and bright neon name tags which will identify them at the event. These are our Volunteer Coordinators who are supervising everything from volunteers to parking and ensuring everything goes smoothly on regatta day. Our Regatta Chairs, Amy Roberts and Courtney Campbell, have done an amazing job of making sure every detail is covered to make your day run smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns, please stop by the regatta command center for additional information. Trash at the 2013 Haxton Invitational is being recycled, thanks to student volunteers and UA Crew families. Here’s how you can keep your regatta refuse out of the landfill: LOST & FOUND THANK YOU to volunteers from Jones Middle School who will be overseeing the recycling today, and to the Rojas, Reed, and Zerkel families for coordinating. And most of all, thank you to Inland Services, Third Hand Bike, SWACO, The Golf Car Company, and Kroger for helping us make a difference! Lost & Found will be co-located in the same shelter house as the awards, volunteer check-in, registration in Shelter House 3. This shelter house is farthest away from the docks/water and near the vendor tent. UA LEARN-TO-ROW Go to www.UACrew.org and look for upcoming dates of local regattas to watch and ‘Learn-to-Row’ details. Participate in the UA Crew Summer Rowing Program. Youth Learn-to-Row programs are held and meet three times a week for approximately five weeks. UA Crew plans to host an event for National Learn to Row Day the first Saturday in June. Be a part of UA Crew in the fall and/or spring, meet new friends while traveling the U.S. and learn a sport you can participate in for the rest of your life! > Please place cans, bottles, and narrow-mouthed plastics in the marked recycling bins. > Flatten large cardboard and large foil serving pans (rinsed; no grease, please!) and place them next to the recycling bin near your kitchen area. > Remind your rowers to use their refillable water bottles. If your recycling or trash bin is FULL, please flag a recycling volunteer in a green vest to empty or replace it. SWACO has more than doubled the life of the landfill as a result of its effective recycling program in Columbus. The success of recycling at the Haxton Regatta depends on you!

UA CREW THANKS COLUMBUS 10 2013 HAXTON INVITATIONAL REGATTA 2013 HAXTON INVITATIONAL REGATTA 11 A note of thanks... On behalf of the Upper Arlington Crew, Inc, we want to send a message of tremendous thanks and appreciation to everyone for your support of this special event. Upper Arlington High School has a rich history with success in many sports including the most state championships of any other high school in Ohio. In order to meet the high standards of UAHS, Upper Arlington Crew is always looking for students who are willing to work hard to achieve a lifetime of rewards. Many sports are old traditions in UA, but rowing is relatively recent and provides many new experiences and opportunities. Crew (rowing) has been a competitive sport since 1827 in Europe. It became an important east coast collegiate sport around 1850 at schools such as Harvard and Yale, and the interest spread throughout the U.S. over the past 150 years. Rowing slowly made its way to the highschool level and 18 years ago a small group of Arlingtonians formed what is known today as Upper Arlington Crew. Throughout those 18 years, UA Crew has garnered tremendous success. HAXTON INVITATIONAL RECEPTION Due to its popularity in past years, the planning committee hosted a reception celebrating the Haxton Invitational Regatta weekend. The 4th Annual Haxton Invitational Reception was held October 24th in the Scioto Room at Griggs Reservoir Boathouse. This evening of fun celebrates the spirit of competition. This event is sponsored by Cameron Mitchell Catering with additional support provided by Shanes Gourmet Catering and MCL Cafeteria. Desserts were generously provided by Goodie Shop and Auddino’s. Some of our auction items are still available for bidding! Please visit our site on biddingforgood.com or stop by the Vendor Tent for additional information. First and foremost, we need to recognize Coach Chris Swartz for his years of dedication to UA Crew and the numerous hours he has spent planning this annual regatta. We also wish to thank the head coordinators and the multitude of volunteers who are necessary to make this regatta run smoothly. This regatta could not have happened without the time, dedication and support of the families of UA Crew and the Upper Arlington community! A TREMENDOUS thank you goes out to to the City of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department for their support and flexibility in facilitating a great regatta at Griggs. Thank you to the Haxton family, for their unwavering support in making the Haxton Invitational Regatta possible. To all the participating teams, we thank you for joining us in making this an exceptionally competitive rowing event and look forward to a great day of racing!
