Junior Men's Eight Golden at 2005 Junior World Championships
Saturday, August 06, 2005
The U.S. junior men's eight won the gold medal on Saturday to highlight the final day of competition at the 2005 FISA Junior World Rowing Championships in Brandenburg, Germany.
While the race was tight throughout, the crew of Jimmy Germano (Pomona, N.J.), Mike Gilson (San Francisco, Calif.), Clayton Sachs (Lincoln, Mass.), Jesse Johnson (Mercer Island, Wash.), Neil Stanga (Arlington, Va.), Neil McPeak (Linwood, N.J.), Henrik Rummel (Vaerloose, Denmark), Michael Rossidis (Garden City, N.Y.) and Derek Johnson (Hillsborough, Calif.) led at every 500-meter split and pulled away during the last quarter of the race for a 1.67-second victory over Germany. The U.S. held a narrow 0.10-second margin over the Germans after 500 meters and was in a virtual dead heat, only 0.01 seconds ahead of New Zealand, at the midway point of the race. That's when the U.S. began to make its move, building a 0.8-second advantage over Germany and a 1.5-second advantage over New Zealand with 500 meters to go. The U.S. then pulled away, finishing with a time of 5:58.08. Germany held off a hard-charging Romania for second place, stroking a 5:59.75 to Romania's 5:59.89. Russia finished fourth, with New Zealand falling to fifth. France rounded out the field in sixth place. The victory marked the first time the U.S. had won the event since 1992.
The junior men's four with coxswain of Zach Vlahos (Piedmont, Calif.), Adam Jones (Pomona, N.J.), Lucas Spielfogel (Boca Raton, Fla.), Bradley Wernst (Falls Village, Conn.) and Tyler Montgomery (Baltimore, Md.) also finished fourth, just missing a medal. While Germany led from start to finish, the U.S. boat battled Canada for third place for much of the race and sat in medal position with 500 meters to go. However, Poland was able to pass the crew in the final few meters to finished third and earn the bronze medal. Germany stroked a 6:22.19 for the victory, while Italy finished second with a time of 6:23.27. Poland earned the bronze medal by clocking a 6:32.25, while the U.S. finished in a 6:32.83. Canada and Serbia and Montenegro rounded out the top six finishers.
