Gerry Quinlan is in his 16th season as head women’s rowing coach at Saint Joseph’s University and has developedthe Hawks into one of the East’s most competitive programs. Including his tenure at Saint Joseph’s, Quinlan hasamassed more than two decades of collegiate head coaching experience.

For the past two seasons, the Hawks have continued to post solid results and at the 2014 Atlantic 10Championships, earned a bronze medal in the Varsity 8 as well as the Third Varsity 8.

Saint Joseph’s medaled in three events at the 2012 Atlantic 10 Championships, and at the Aberdeen Dad VailRegatta,the defending champion Second Varsity 8 earned a bronze medal for its third consecutive medal in the pres-‐tigious event. At the 2012 Dad Vails, Quinlan was presented with the Matthew Ledwith Coach’s Award, which is givento the outstanding coach from the previous year’s regatta.

Quinlan’s 2011 crew had one of the best seasons in school history, highlighted by two firsts for the program -‐ agold medal at the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta and the team title in the Atlantic 10 Championships. The Hawks’ SecondVarsity 8 captured the program’s first Dad Vail gold medal and the Varsity 4 took home a silver, to help SJU finish sec-‐ond in the team standings. Saint Joseph’s won the Freshman 8 at the conference meet, and earned top-‐three finish-‐

es in three other events to give the Hawks the league’s team crown for the first time ever. In 2010, the Hawks main-‐tained their status as one of the top teams in the Atlantic 10 Conference, turned in medal-‐winning performances (onesilver, two bronze) at the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta, and ended the year with a trip to the prestigious Henley RoyalRegatta for the second time in school history. SJU’s Varsity 8 also set a record in becoming the only team to advanceto the Grand Final at the Dad Vail Regatta for six consecutive years.

The 2009 Hawks earned a number of firsts for the program. Saint Joseph’s won its first-‐ever Atlantic 10 titles as theVarsity 8 and Quad boats earned the gold medals at the conference championships. Quinlan was recognized as theAtlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the first time in his career, while the Hawks matched their best-‐ever team result witha third-‐place finish. The Hawks earned a bronze medal, which gave them the most medals of any team in the previousfour years. SJU’s Freshman 8 also advanced to the Grand Final for the seventh consecutive season.

In 2008, Quinlan’s charges placed a then best-‐ever third as a team at the Atlantic 10 Championship. The Varsity 8boat earned its first-‐ever medal at A-‐10s, placing second, while also taking first at the Jesuit Invitational and the Kelly

Cup. The rest of the Hawks also dominated at the city-‐wide Kelly Cup races, taking first place in every contest.Quinlan guided the Hawks to victory in the Varsity 8 at the 2006 Dad Vail Regatta while that crew earned the school’s first-‐ever trip to the Henley Royal

Regatta in England. The Hawks rowed to a silver-‐medal finish in the Dad Vail Varsity 8 in 2007 while the Freshman 8 took silver in 2008.During his tenure the Hawks have won three gold medals, six silvers, and five bronze medals at the Dad Vail Regatta. SJU has finished second in the

women’s point trophy standings twice and combined with the Hawks’ men’s team to win the Dad Vail Overall Points Trophy in 2005, 2006 and 2010. Since his arrival at SJU in 1999, Quinlan has been one of the driving forces behind the growth of both the women’s and men’s rowing programs, nearly

doubling participation during his tenure. Quinlan has been active in the development of the Robert M. Gillin, Jr. Boathouse, which opened in 2002, while main-‐taining alumni support and coordinating several local regattas, including the Jesuit Invitational Regatta.

Quinlan’s résumé includes a six-‐year stint as the head coach of Northwestern University’s men’s and women’s programs and a three-‐year stretch as the headwomen’s coach at the University of Notre Dame. His teams have won medals at the Dad Vail Regatta, the Champion International Collegiate Regatta and the Headof the Charles, and have competed in the Henley Royal Regatta and the Mexico City International Championships.

A 1991 graduate of Notre Dame, Quinlan spent his prep career rowing at Monsignor Bonner High School in Drexel Hill, Pa. He and his wife Linda, a Hawks’assistant coach, reside in Philadelphia with their daughters, Maeve and Tess.

Saint Joseph’s rowed out of the Vesper Boat Club and competed in its first Dad Vail Regatta in 1975.The program has grown tremendously over the 40 years and owns a proud tradition. In addition to having its own boathouse-‐ the Gillin Boathouse -‐ SaintJoseph’s competes nationally and has twice participated in the Royal Henley Regatta in England.

Saint Joseph’s captured its first-‐ever team title at the Atlantic 10 Championships in2011.

JESUIT INVITATIONALSaint Joseph’s Rowing established the Jesuit Invitational in 1999 and it has become a major race in the collegiate rowing season, featuring solely Jesuit col-‐

leges. The Jesuit Invitational is held every year in March on the Cooper River in Pennsauken, N.J. The Casey Ferrone Memorial Trophy is awarded to the Men’s Varsity 8 champion, while the Robert Gillin, Jr., Memorial Trophy is awarded to the Women’s

Varsity 8 winner. The Cannonball Trophy is given to the overall team champion. It is named in honor of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, who had his

leg shattered by a cannonball while defending Spain from an attack by France. The Cannonball Trophy serves as a reminder that all good things start with pain.The glory of winning is only possible by withstanding the mental and physical pain of the 2000-‐meter race course. The trophy is awarded to the school withthe highest combined points in the day’s races. It is a traveling trophy which the winner returns every year. The winning team receives a small cannonball thatis theirs to keep as a reminder of their championship performance.

2014 Jesuit Invitational -‐ March 15 -‐ Cooper River, Pennsauken, N.J.

The Hawks’ Varsity 8 crew cap-‐tured the Jesuit Invitational in2008 and started a run of fourconsecutive Jesuit titles.

The Saint Joseph’s rowing programs have a proud history of success onthe water, but a number of alums have achieved a great amount of post-‐grad-‐uate success in the sport as well. Mike Teti ’78, Teresa Zarzeczny Bell ’88 andRenee Hykel ’01 are three SJU legends that have gone on to even greater suc-‐cesses since their days on Hawk Hill. All three have taken their rowing careersto the highest levels of international competition, making the SJU rowing pro-‐gram a cradle of champions.

Arguably the best-‐known oarsman in America, Mike Teti was a top Hawkrower, graduating from SJU with a sociology degree in 1978.

“Saint Joseph’s gave me the opportunity to compete and also the oppor-‐tunity for a great education,” Teti says. “I owe SJU a great debt for all of theopportunities I received.”

From 1977-‐93, Teti rowed on 11 national teams, including three trips tothe Olympic Games. He won 24 national championships, a gold medal in themen’s eight at the 1987 World Championships and a bronze medal in thesame event at the 1988 Olympics. He was named the 1987 United StatesRowing Male Athlete of the Year.

Teti achieved even greater notoriety as a coach, guiding the U.S. men’sopen eight squad to an unprecedented three straight world championships.He also coached the men’s four with coxswain to world championship gold.In 1996 he led the lightweight men’s four to an Olympic bronze medal beforebeing named USRowing’s Head Men’s Sweep Coach, the highest coachinghonor in the country, in October of that year.

Teti became the U.S. Olympic coach following the 2000 Games, and ledthe men’s eight boat to gold in Athens in 2004, a feat that the United Stateshad not achieved since 1964 when another coach with Hawk ties, AlRosenberg, led the Americans to victory. He also guided the U.S. Men to thebronze medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Teti is currently the head coach of the men’s crew team at the Universityof California and was inducted into the National Rowing Federation’s Hall ofFame in 2010.

Teresa Bell is no stranger to success on the international level, either.Her Olympic dream began in the fall of 1992 when the International OlympicCommittee announced that her event, the lightweight double sculls, wouldbe a part of the Olympic Games in 1996.

In truth, Bell’s journey really began back in 1985. In that year the soph-‐omore joined the Saint Joseph’s women’s rowing club team. By 1988, she wasa part-‐time member of the varsity squad, and her Hawk Hill career culminat-‐ed in victory in the women’s singles event at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta.Bell later went on to be a member of both the Crescent Boat Club and theFairmount Rowing Club, for whom she still rows when she is in Philadelphia.

In 1996, Bell was preparing for Olympic competition with intense work-‐outs three times a day. She put in most of her work in Tennessee, the home

of the United States Women’s RowingCenter. She also spent time training inGeorgia in preparation for the OlympicTrials. Before the Olympic Games, shespent a month rowing in Europe beforereturning home for the Atlanta games.

This exhausting routine helped pre-‐pare Bell for the rigors of the highest levelof international competition, but all of thework paid off in the end as Bell and herpartner, Lindsay Burns, took the silvermedal in the lightweight double sculls.

From Hawk Hill to the Olympic medalstand, Bell never forgot her roots. “Ienjoyed my experience at Saint Joseph’s,”Bell says. “It made me who I am today.Besides rowing, Saint Joseph’s taught me tobe open-‐minded and that has really helpedme.”

Following the Olympics, Bell placed fifth in the same event at the 1997World Championships. She was inducted, along with Teti, as a member of theinaugural class on the Saint Joseph’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999.

SJU’s influence is still being felt in the rowing community as Class of oneof the top names in the sport. She is a five-‐time member of the U.S. NationalTeam and competed at the World Championships every year from 2003 to2006. In 2005, the former Saint Joseph’s walk-‐on took silver in the light-‐weight double sculls at the World Championships in Gifu, Japan. In 2007,Hykel was the U.S. National Champion in the lightweight single sculls.

The year 2008 marked Hykel’s first trip to the Olympic Games as shetraveled to Beijing to compete in the lightweight double sculls event, thesame event Teresa Bell took silver in at the 1996 Games. Hykel and her part-‐ner, former SJU assistant rowing coach Jen Goldsack, just missed the medalfinal after reaching the A/B semifinal.

Teti, Bell and Hykel are just three of more than a dozen Hawks to com-‐pete internationally, as athletes such as Sean Drea and the Flanigan brothers,Donald and Richard, have done Saint Joseph’s proud at the highest levels ofthe sport.

In addition to these individuals, the Saint Joseph’s rowing program con-‐tinues to write new chapters in its ever-‐expanding legacy. Since 1999, theHawk men’s and women’s teams have combined to finish first or second inthe race for the coveted Jack Bratton Trophy, awarded to the Dad VailRegatta’s overall points champion, four times, most recently in 2010.

The women’s program, meanwhile, has developed into one of theregion’s most formidable.

The 2006 season was a banner one for the Hawk program as a whole, asSJU turned in its then-‐best-‐ever finishes at the San Diego Crew Classic andAtlantic 10 Championships, and winning gold in the Varsity 8 at the Dad VailRegatta. The 2006 team also competed in the prestigious Henley RoyalRegatta in the United Kingdom, a first for Saint Joseph’s.

In 2009, the Hawks’ Varsity 8 set a record in becoming the only team toadvance to the Grand Final of the Dad Vail Regatta for five consecutive yearsand increased that mark to six straight in 2010. SJU’s Freshman 8 alsoadvanced to the Grand Final for eight years in a row. The 2010 season culmi-‐nated with Saint Joseph’s competing at Henley for the second time in schoolhistory, while in 2011, the Hawks won their first Atlantic 10 Conference teamchampionship.

The Hawks have made two trips to the Henley Royal Regatta, with the mostrecent being in 2010.

Teresa Bell was a silver medalistin the 1996 Olympic Games.

The Saint Joseph’s Hawk mascot has been flapping its wings for more than a half a century. One of the most famous mascots in college sports, the Hawk is best known for staying in constant

motion by flapping its wings throughout every basketball game and representing the Saint Joseph’s motto,“The Hawk Will Never Die”.

Saint Joseph’s athletic teams have been recognized with the nickname “Hawks” since 1929. At thattime, the school’s yearbook editor initiated a contest among the student body for a symbol. More than 100submissions were narrowed, with “Hawks” winning out over “Grenadiers” by a slim margin. The name wasappropriate because it typified “the fighting spirit of our crimson and gray athletes and it is suggestive ofthe aerial attack which has made our football team famous.” Football, ironically, was discontinued at SJUfollowing the 1939 season.

The Hawk mascot has garnered numerous accolades in its 57-‐year history, and in 2013, it was named“College Basketball’s Best Tradition” by NCAA.com. . It has been selected as the nation’s top mascot by TheSporting News, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Street & Smith’s Basketball Yearbook and ESPNCollege Basketball magazine and was a nominee for the 2008 Mascot Hall of Fame.

THE HAWK

John W. SmithsonSenior Vice President


Founded in 1851, Saint Joseph’s is anindependent, Catholic, Jesuit universityteaching disciplined reasoning, effectivecommunication and a love of learning. FromWillings Alley in Old City Philadelphia to StilesStreet in North Philadelphia to its currentlocation on City Avenue, Saint Joseph’s hascontinued to grow and change with thetimes. The University combines the Jesuit tra-‐dition of academic excellence, a history ofservice and an ideal campus location to pro-‐duce successful students who strive to makea good world even better.

Full-‐time, undergraduate day enrollmentcomprises approximately 4,650 students.Graduate, evening and executive programspush total enrollment to more than 8,000students.

THE JESUIT TRADITIONOF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Saint Joseph’s nationally-‐recognized aca-‐demic reputation is confirmed by ongoingacknowledgment in Barron’s, U.S. News &World Report and Peterson’s. The Jesuit tra-‐dition of intellectual inquiry and personalconcern manifests itself in small, challengingclasses taught by a caring faculty. Graduateassistants do not teach, so undergraduatescan be sure they are receiving the very besteducational experience from trained experts.One-‐on-‐one interaction between studentsand faculty is a reality at Saint Joseph’s.

A solid liberal arts curriculum providesacross-‐the-‐board learning for every student.Supporting that curriculum are comprehen-‐sive academic majors and learning facilities.The result is a broad education that preparesstudents not only for employment and grad-‐uate school, but for life itself.

In the fall of 1998, SJU opened the $25million Owen A. Mandeville Hall, which hous-‐es the Erivan K. Haub School of Business, theCenter for Food Marketing and the region'sfirst "Teletorium" and "Moot Boardrooms."An 87,000-‐square-‐foot international academ-‐ic center featuring state-‐of-‐the-‐art distancelearning technology, it is located near thecorner of 54th Street and City Avenue.

A HISTORY OF SERVICEThe students of Saint Joseph’s University

are dedicated to making today’s world evenbetter. A natural spirit of volunteerism hasenabled the University’s community serviceprograms to become the most popularextracurricular activities on campus. In addi-‐tion, a Service Learning program allows stu-‐

dents to receive academic credit for theirwork outside the classroom.

SJU offers local, national and interna-‐tional opportunities for student service.From North Philadelphia to Camden, N.J.;from New Orleans to the AppalachianMountains, Saint Joseph’s students embracethe Jesuit mission of serving those in need.The Thanksgiving Dinner Dance for area sen-‐ior citizens and the Hand-‐in-‐Hand Festival forthe handicapped are two annual student-‐runevents that draw thousands of special visitorsto campus for fun and friendship.

IDEAL CAMPUS LOCATIONSJU’s City Avenue location combines the

best of dynamic Philadelphia with the subur-‐ban, residential setting of the elegant MainLine. Saint Joseph’s 65 acres span two coun-‐ties, allowing students to literally enjoy thebest of both worlds. The city of Philadelphia,with its tremendous wealth of historical, cul-‐tural, social and athletic attractions, is easilyaccessible, while the safety, serenity andgreenery of a suburban campus are right athand.

The friendly atmosphere and close-‐knitcampus ensure that students don’t get lost ineither the literal or the figurative sense atSaint Joseph’s. Expanded library, computerand athletic facilities add a big-‐time “feel” tothis growing university.

SUCCESSFUL STUDENTSMen and women leave Saint Joseph’s

prepared. The University boasts an excellentrecord of placing its graduates in first-‐time

jobs, professional schools and otheradvanced degree programs. Part-‐time workand internships provide real-‐world experi-‐ences, the kind which delight future employ-‐ers. And with its many diverse student organ-‐izations, SJU offers ample opportunities toassume leadership positions.

An extensive on-‐campus recruitmentprogram provides graduates with a headstart in their employment search. Regularmeetings with faculty advisors, along withadvisory programs in the health professionsand in pre-‐law, assist students who wish tofurther their schooling.

PHILADELPHIASJU’s Philadelphia location gives stu-‐

dents access to two worlds. The campusresembles a park, surrounded by the statelyhomes of Philadelphia’s historic Main Linesuburbs. Yet students have access to the cul-‐tural, commercial and recreational activitiesof downtown Philadelphia -‐– only a short rideaway. SJU students take frequent advantageof the artistic and cultural resourcesPhiladelphia offers, as well. They visit thePhiladelphia Museum of Art; thePennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; theFranklin Institute Science Museum; theAcademy of Music, which houses ballet andopera; and the new Kimmel Center, home tothe Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition, SJUstudents enjoy rooting for Philadelphia’steams in the four major professional sportsleagues.
