Grosso, stroke of the men’s varsity eight, helped propel the Tigers to their first win of the fall season at the William Smith Challenge on the Canal race, Saturday, September 26.
Head Men’s Coach Jim Bodenstedt commented after their six second win over Ithaca, “Joe was selected as the stroke last week because, right now, he is setting the best rhythm for the crew. I count on Joe’s experience and fitness to set the tone for these long races. He does a commendable job in holding consistent rates and getting the oarsmen behind him to follow. He also works well with the cox’ns in raising their game. I expect big things from Joe this year and with this senior laden crew.”
