2005 Men's Crew Awards
The 2005 Liberty League End-of-Season Awards, announced June 22.

2005 Liberty League Crew of the Year
Varsity Eight   Hobart
The varsity eight of Dan Gilbert, Michael Hoepp, Michael Grenier, Gavin Johnstone-Butcher, Joe Jameson, Matthew Monbouquette, Rob Reinheimer, J.M. Chadonic, and Gardner Loring captured Boat of the Week honors once this spring. The crew was won twice and captured bronze medal honors at the New York State Championships. Just missing qualifying for the grand final at the ECAC Championships, the varsity eight dominated conference opponents, outracing two other boats by more than eight seconds in the makeshift regatta after the Liberty League Championships were cancelled.

2005 Liberty League Novice Crew of the Year
Novice Eight   Hobart
Hobart's novice eight of Cary Wasserman, Alex Tye, Trippe Duke, Campbell Woods, Richard Klein, Kevin Corbett, Andrew Meunier, Vince DeFabo, and Mark Vogelgesang placed third in the New York State Championships, besting the eight from Army, and finishing more than eight seconds ahead of the next Division III boat in the final (5th place Ithaca). Hobart's novice eight did not lose to a Division III boat all season, capturing gold in the Wylie Coyote Chase and the Head of the Fish.

2005 Liberty League Coach of the Year
Mike Guerrieri   Hobart
In his third year, Guerrieri guided the Statesmen to another strong year of racing. Winning nearly half of their races this spring, the Statesmen dominated Liberty League opponents at a makeshift regatta at Union College. Hobart won each of the four races after the Liberty League championships were cancelled. Guerrieri also helped guide the varsity four to the silver medal at the New York State Championships, while the varsity eight and novice eight took home bronze medal honors. Against a very competitive ECAC Championship field, the Statesmen just missed qualifying for the grand final in the varsity eight competition.
