Berkeley High School 1979 Womens Crew

For the 1979 season, the BHS women's crew team was led by the efforts of their coaches Bobby Ruth and Maggie Oldershaw and the five returning rowers, Ann Carson, Pam Brody, Judy Keith, Heather Price, and Emily Smith, two of whom were bronze medalists at the Nationals. The team attended many prestigious regattas; San Diego Crew Classic, Western Sprints, Bay Area Rowing Festival, and the South West Regionals in Long Beach. Because of the stiff competition, this year's crew was the best conditioned yet. What they lacked in size, they made up for in muscles.
