Rowers to get warm welcome to Philadelphia

On Monday May 3, the Grand Valley State University rowing team will meet Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and U.S. Congressman Brady at world famous Geno's Steaks -- known for its cheesesteak sandwiches. The dignitaries will welcome the team to Philly for the Dad Vail Regatta. 

The team will compete later in the week and hopes to repeat its great showing from 2009, when the women’s varsity eight won over highly respected and very fast competition. Four crews won semi-final victories in Philadelphia and three went on to medal with the entire program finishing third in team points. 

The website for the regatta is www.dadvail.org
