► AMONG THE BEST Once again in 2012, the BU men's varsity eight boat reached the Grand Final at the IRA National Championships for the second time in four years. The varsity eight finished sixth in the 2012 Grand Final and BU finished seventh overall in the team standings. The Terriers' performance at the National Championships showed that BU is one of the top rowing programs in the country. Pictured: Will Daly (second seat), Florian Mennigen (five seat) and Jozef Klaasen (six seat) WORLD CLASS HEAD COACH TOM BOHRER Entering his fifth season at the helm, head coach Tom Bohrer brings a wealth of experience to the Terriers. Inducted into the National Rowing Hall of Fame in 2010, he earned a silver medal in both the 1988 Seoul Olympics and 1992 Barcelona Olympics, while also serving as team captain in 1992. CROWN JEWEL Dedicated on October 23, 1999, the DeWolfe Boathouse is a first-class facility that serves as the crown jewel of the rowing program. It lays just below the finish line of all collegiate races on the Charles River and serves as the starting line for the annual two-day Head of the Charles Regatta. 2013 ROSTER Boston University recruits standout student-athletes from around the world to don the scarlet and white and has had several men compete in both the Olympics and the World Championships.
