For the second consecutive year, the men’s lightweight eight of coxswain Bill McManus (Smithville, N.J.), Matt Smith (Woodbridge, Va.), Tom Paradiso (Blue Bell, Pa.), Jon Douglas (Boxborough, Mass.), Erik Miller (Renton, Wash.), John Cashman (Sausalito, Calif.), Andrew Liverman (Oakton, Va.), Eric Feins (Rochester, N.Y.) and Gavin Blackmore (Worcester, Mass.) won the bronze medal. Racing in a final-only race, the U.S. crew clocked a 5:38.21 to finish 3.16 seconds behind the gold medalists from Italy. The Italian crew got off to a strong start, taking the lead by the 500-meter mark, and it was able to hold off every challenge from the rest of the field. The U.S. battled Germany and Denmark most of the way down the course and held second place at the midway point of the contest. But, the Germans were able to edge away from the American boat in the last half of the race to win the silver medal. For the U.S., it was the fifth consecutive year that the men’s lightweight eight has brought home a medal.

Albert Arnold, WSHS Class of 2000, continues his cox'ing career at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD. Albert was coxswain on Woodbridge Crew's Men's Heavyweight 8 in 1999 and 2000. He was invited two years in a row to the Men's U.S. Junior National Rowing Team Selection Camp. Albert continues to win honors in college. In his freshman year, he was voted top cadet in his company after a series of grueling physical and leadership challenges.
