...heyday of heavyweight crew,” Crick said. “We had a great run back then. We won the [Eastern] Sprints three times. We were national champions twice. We also went to [the Henley Royal Regatta] a couple times. We raced in the Grand Challenge in ’87 and the Ladies Plate in ’86. We also went to the World University Games in ’87. I was lucky to be there with some very good, talented rowers...
