GLC in Competition
Green Lake Crew established its tradition of competitive excellence at the highest levels in 1959 when a coxed four of junior rowers earned the right to compete at the U.S. National Championships (i.e. not “Junior Nationals,” but “Nationals”) in Chicago. This crew not only won a gold medal in this event, but subsequently represented the United States at the Pan American Games in Sao Paolo, Brazil, where they rowed home first in that competition as well. That boat was nominated by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for its "Man of the Year in Sports" award in 1959.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
