Mens Squad Profiles

Chairman

Name: Jonathan 'el presidente' Keir

D.O.B: 02/07/87

Course: Business Studies

Jonathan is a business mogul, largely misuderstood in his own time but most certainly a rowing genius. Having taken a year out through injury these skills may need a little refinement, though it can only be a matter of time before he is back to take over the world once more.

Senior mens captain (+ secretary)

Name: Nick Church

D.O.B: 18/12/87

Course: English

Nick is relatively new to rowing, having started when he came to the university. His aims are to get regular crews out together to train and get some pots for everyone. He enjoys a bit of coaching but regularly coxes boats straight into landing stages. He also previously occupied the Secretary role, and his swimming has improved a lot since his first time in a single.

In his spare time Gunsa likes to wrestle live lions for training and eats a diet of pure uranium rods. Its rumoured he lived with ninjas and part of his training was to row a boat single-handedly up a mountain stream.

Johnny also has an active imagination!

Homer Simpson

Name: Dan Hazlewood

D.O.B: 29/09/87

Course: Environmental Management

After a year on sport science, Dan decided to follow his passion for hugging trees. It was in this 2nd year at hallam he took up rowing, initially to try and wind up his housemate DG, he is now hooked and is taking on the role as vice captain. Dan compares himself to such celebrities as Mat Damon, Clark Kent and Jamie Foxx???????

Now heading on placement to do the same job as Homer SImpson, he will no doubt come back with lots of thirst for rowing next year
