Talk:Jim Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy

Jim OR Ned
I'm a former Wisconsin rower, and I was surprised by this entry. I believe that the information below is more accurate. The sources of the information follow the information taken from the sites.

Jim Ten Eyck Inducted in 2002

Born:                        October 16, 1851 in Tompkins Cove, New York. Died:                        February 11, 1938 Buried:                     Ashes spread on the waters of the Hudson River Coaching Career:  USN Academy – 1899–01 Syracuse University – 1903-38

Undoubtedly one of the greatest crew coaches to ever grace the sport, Jim Ten Eyck set the standard for accomplishments, which to this day, seem far beyond matching. He began his coaching career in Annapolis coaching the US Navel Academy’s crew teams from 1899-1901. He began his 34-year career at Syracuse University in 1093 and from that first season, began his winning ways. During his SU tenure, Ten Eyck captured an astounding ten National Championships. Of that number four were varsity (1908,1913,1916 and 1920) and six were for freshman’s squads (1906, 1915, 1922, 1925, 1929 one 1930). In 1922, he was titled "Dean of American Crew Coaches", the Knute Rockne of his sport. In 1937 SU dedicated the boathouse in his honor and name.

1952 - IRA's Team Ten Eyck trophy is named after Jim



Jim Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy Past Champions

A replica of the original hand-carved mahogany plaque, the Ten Eyck Trophy pays just honor and respect to Jim Ten Eyck, Syracuse University’s revered and famed crew coach from 1903 to 1938. From 1952 through 1973, the trophy went to the university amassing the largest number of points in the varsity, junior varsity and freshman eights. Starting in 1974, all races counted in the scoring under a system adopted by the coaches of the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges. The total number of points for each race will be divided by the number of crews entered and awarded accordingly. As an example, the varsity eight race carries the highest amount of points, 108. If there were ten crews entered, the first place finisher would receive 108 points (10 times 10.8), second place 97.2 (nine times 10.8), third 86.4, down to tenth place which would be 10.8. In the case of a tie, the team finishing the highest in the varsity eight race would receive the Ten Eyck Trophy.
