An advanced group of 20 highschool students learned aboutsequel injections and cryptogra-phy as their white computer

screens illuminated the classroom. TheGovernor’s STEM Academy CybersecurityCamp opened once again from Aug. 10 –14 at Marshall High School.

Since its inception in 2012, the camp hasgrown into a group of 70 students from allacross Fairfax County. These students rangefrom rising freshmen to seniors and are di-vided into basic and advanced groups de-pending on prior experience.

The camp lays a foundation of defensiveand offensive skills (depending on thegroup) for inquisitive high schools students.Camp leader Jeff Ennis describedcybersecurity to be a multi-faceted subject,so the camp tries to compress a compre-hensive amount of information for its stu-dents in just one week.

“If it [cybersecurity] were a pizza, itwould be a 20 slice pizza,” explains Ennis.

Therefore, the camp helps its students tar-get their greater interest areas specifically,whether they are experienced or just begin-ning to find an interest in cybersecurity.

The students say they share a commoncuriosity for cybersecurity and enthusiasmfor the week at Marshall.

“I’m enthusiastic about how enthusiasticthey are,” says Ennis with a smile.

Devina Choksi, of Marshall High School,even described that on the first day, the stu-dents of the advanced group attempted tohack each other’s computers as an activity.However, Choksi said none of the studentssucceeded.

Marshall’s Cybersecurity Camp opens for the fourth summer.

Cybersecurity Week at Marshall High

Many of the students see their futures incybersecurity. Jared Zell, of Marshall HighSchool, said that the camp was the “icingon the cake” in deciding cybersecurity forhis future career path.

The Connection

Supervisor John Foust’s StreamTeam was scheduled to convenefor its first meeting Tuesday, Aug.18 at the McLean Community

Center to discuss and potentially make de-cisions that will impact the McLean Cen-tral Park.

Residents who use the beloved McLeanCentral Park have voiced anger over countyplans to remove a couple of hundred treesas part of a stream restoration process toimprove the health of Dead Run Stream.

Neighbors say they weren’t properly in-formed from the beginning of the countyplans and haven’t been assured that thecounty’s efforts are in the best interest ofthe stream and park.

More than 75 people attended a commu-

nity meeting at Dolley Madison Library inJune where members of the Department ofPublic Works gave updates to a Dead RunStream Restoration Project, tentatively

scheduled for the fall of 2016.Neighbors voiced frustration over lack of

outreach at the beginning of the project,lack of warning that 220 trees could be de-

stroyed, impact on individual homesand yards, lack of assurance that theproject will be successful, loss of noisebuffers from trees and more.

In June, Supervisor Foust promisedto develop a “stream team,” a taskforce of interested and concerned citi-zens who can voice concerns of thecommunity and help develop a projectthat meets goals of both the streamand the public.

Restoration would reduce sediment and nutrient loads, stabilize streambanks to reduce bank erosion and reduce tree loss in the future, im-prove aquatic habitat and restore and enhance the stream buffer, offi-cials said.

“We’re taking a stepback, slowing down towork with thecommunity. We know it’san important park but wealso want to improve thehealth of the stream.”

— Matt Meyers,Watershed Projects Implementation

Branch Chief for Fairfax CountyStormwater Planning Division

Plans to restoreDead Run inMcLean Central Parkwill involve removal ofdozens of trees.

See Stream Team, Page 5

From Page 4

While Ben Wiles of Supervisor JohnFoust’s office suggested a task force withabout 10 members could be most effective,he also said they are prepared to includeanyone who wants to be involved.

“We can certainly accommodate anybodywho is interested,” he said. “We’d like tohave people who want to stay involved inthe entire project.”

Foust canceled a possible July beginningwhen “a few property owners along the pro-posed project” that are most affected by thepotential project indicated they could notattend the meeting.

DEAD RUN IS IMPAIRED and in poorquality, said Matt Meyers, WatershedProjects Implementation Branch Chief forFairfax County Stormwater Planning Divi-sion.

“There’s a real reason why we are here.There’s real degradation,” said Meyers, at

June’s public information meeting. “Weknow that this is an important project toimprove the quality of the stream. We wantto work with you to make it a good project.”

Meyers highlighted the intensity of streamerosion and degradation, increasing phos-phorous levels and flooding that is impact-ing the surrounding community. The streamrestoration project would improve waterquality by reducing sediment and nutrientloads, stabilize stream banks to reduce bankerosion and reduce tree loss in the future,improve aquatic habitat and restore andenhance the stream buffer, officials said.

Meyers and other team members tookabout two dozen residents outside to walkalong Dead Run Stream behind the DolleyMadison Library and Community Center todemonstrate why restoration is needed andto let residents ask more questions in thefield where the impact would be visible.

THE COUNTY acknowledged it needed toimprove outreach efforts to citizens ofMcLean.

“We recognize that our standard publicnotification process was inadequate,” readcounty documents.

“We’re taking a step back,” said Meyers,“slowing down to work with the commu-nity. We know it’s an important park butwe also want to improve the health of thestream.”

Meyers admitted the county’s efforts toinclude the community at the beginning ofthe project were less than optimal. “Weknow we got off to a bad start,” said Meyers.

Foust promised neighbors and citizens achance to work with county officialsthrough the stream team to determine ifconsensus can be reached to improve thequality of Dead Run but meet demands ofneighbors and citizens who want to ensurethat their beloved park won’t be compro-mised.

Susan Moser isn’t optimistic.“There is serious concern that the

County’s proposed, previously named‘Stream Team,’ will be a rubber-stamp groupdesigned to give the County credit for mak-ing an in-name-only attempt to allow forcommunity input regarding the future ofMcLean Central Park,” wrote Susan Moserin a letter to the editor.

MedStar to Hold 12th Super H5K Run, Walks & Wheel


By Jim Corcoran

President and CEO

Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce

Recently, the Fairfax County Federationof Teachers ran advertisements in theConnection newspapers questioning

the dedication of the Fairfax County Board ofSupervisors and the business community to thecounty’s education system.

Nothing could be further from the truth.The Fairfax Board of Supervisors has worked

tirelessly to support Fairfax County PublicSchools (FCPS). In fact, approximately 70 per-cent of FCPS’ budget is unfairly shouldered bythe county, which comes directly from residen-tial and commercial taxes. From FY 1996-2014,contributions from the county quadrupled thatof student growth. And this past April, theBoard of Supervisors, in its FY2016 adoptedbudget, increased funding for FCPS for the fifthconsecutive year, funding our schools at 99.8percent of their advertised budget; bringing thetotal increase from FY2012 to FY2016 to $240million.

All the while, residents and businesses arebeing taxed by lawmakers in Richmond, with

little return in education dollars coming di-rectly from the state to show for it.

The Fairfax Chamber has, for decades, sup-ported the full funding of K-12 educationthroughout the entire Commonwealth. TheChamber believes that the future growth of theNorthern Virginia economy, and consequentlyVirginia’s economy, depends on a significantinvestment in K-12 education. The Chamberhas been a leading voice in Richmond, work-ing hand in hand with the county, to thwartany attempt to cut the state’s contributions toFCPS.

Our work on behalf of FCPS extends beyondadvocacy. Since 2010, the Fairfax Chamber haspartnered with FCPS to establish the Educa-tion Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable orga-nization allied with, but independent of, thecounty’s public school system.

Every two years, the Fairfax Chamber spear-heads the School Bond Referendum commit-tee ensuring there are appropriate dollars forthe county’s education infrastructure to meetthe needs of our growingly diverse community.

Additionally, the Fairfax Chamber has beenrecognized by the School Board for its years ofdedicated partnership with Fairfax County

Public Schools.And we promise that will not stop. We will

continue to advocate for the needs of ourschools. However, the Fairfax County Federa-tion of Teachers is wrong to direct their frus-tration at the Board of Supervisors and thebusiness community. The problem rests withRichmond.

Historically, the Local Composite Index (LCI)places Fairfax County at a disadvantage by nottaking into account important factors such asthe differential between county and city tax-ing authority, the impact of cost of living on alocality’s ability to pay staff, and the increasedcosts associated with providing services togrowing limited English proficiency and spe-cial education populations.

For years, the Board of Supervisors, FCPS,and the Fairfax Chamber have called upon theGeneral Assembly to provide FCPS their fairshare of state education dollars. Our schools,our children, and our economy depend on it.

We must come together and work unitedtowards a common good. A failure to addressthe problem of inadequate state funding foreducation will leave our schools and our chil-dren behind.

Now Is Time To Unite for Education

Opinion

Yesterday, for the first time in the his-tory of Fairfax County Police Depart-ment, a Fairfax County Police officerwas charged in a shooting death.

On Monday, Aug. 17, former Fairfax CountyPolice officer Adam Torres was charged withthe second-degree murder of John Geer, fol-lowing an indictment returned by a specialgrand jury convened by Fairfax CountyCommonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh. Itappears to be only the second time in historythat the Commonwealth’s Attorney has con-vened a grand jury in an officer-in-volved shooting.

John Geer was shot dead in the door-way to his own own home on Aug. 29,2013 after police were called in a domesticdispute. Torres was fired in July 2015, almosttwo years later.

FCPD began by releasing almost no infor-mation. It took a year-and-a-half, a judge’s or-der, a U.S. senator’s probing, and public out-rage (the most important of these being thecourt order) to get information about the in-vestigation.

But the public outrage led the Fairfax CountyBoard of Supervisors to form the Fairfax CountyAd Hoc Police Practices Review Commission,which has been meeting since April both as acommission and five subcommittees involvingthousands of hours of work by about 70 people.Areas of focus by committee include Use ofForce; Communications; Mental Health; Re-

cruitment, Diversity and Vetting; and Indepen-dent Investigations and Oversight.

Communications recommendations cameout last month, well worth reading on the com-mission website.

Police and county officials recognize that theworld is changing around them, and have en-gaged in the process. The kind of changesneeded represent a massive change in cultureand approach, and none of it will happen over-night, but the process has started.

Several developments, beyond the indict-ment of Torres, mark progress and op-portunity for change.

Last week, FCPD Chief EdwinRoessler posted a website summary of

all officer involved shootings, a major step anda work in progress. The department is wres-tling with communications initiatives on manylevels.

This week, the report released from the Men-tal Health and Crisis Intervention TrainingCommittee marks a remarkable opportunity forFairfax County to transform the way it providesservices to people with mental illness. Recom-mendations reach beyond the police depart-ment to the county jail and the CommunityServices Board, which provides mental healthservices in the county.

Police are often the first responders in amental health crisis. The jail is the county’slargest facility for people with mental illness.The costs, financial and human, of dealing with

Report offers blueprint for transformingaspects of policing, jail and services forpeople with mental illness.

Sea Changes in Policing?

mental health in this way are enormous. The26 recommendations of the Mental HealthSubcommittee, presented by committee chairand state delegate Marcus Simon, offer thecounty a path to getting it right.

Recommendations including fully imple-menting the “Memphis model” of crisis inter-vention, which provides for response teamsincluding officers specially trained in de-esca-lating situations with people in mental healthcrisis; creating a system of getting treatmentrather than incarceration for people with men-tal illness; creating a mental health docket inthe courts; funding a second Mobile Crisis Unitunder the Community Services Board; estab-lish strategically located, 24-hour crisis inter-vention sites where police can safely transfercustody of person in crisis without taking themto jail.

How much will it cost? It will require upfrontmoney, but it costs $50,000 annually to housesomeone in the Fairfax County Detention Cen-ter. To provide intensive therapy in the com-munity costs $7,500 a year.

Fairfax County Immunizationswww.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/immun/

The Connection

As the lazy days of sum-mer wind down, beachtrips, lemonade standsand lax bedtimes give

way to alarm clocks, textbooks andbackpacks. Public health officialssay that a back-to-school list shouldinclude more than pencils and pa-per. For many, the first order ofbusiness is a well-child physical, adental exam and required immu-nizations.

During a physical exam, parentsshould double check that immuni-zations are up to date, ask if theirchild’s growth is on target andwhat normal developmentalchanges they should expect duringthe next year. Parents should alsobe prepared to answer questionsabout their child’s sleep patternsand eating habits.

“Vision checks are an importantpart of a routine school entry physi-cal so make sure to ask for one,”said Caroline Sutter, a family nursepractitioner, DNP-BC, co-director ofMason and Partners (MAP) clinicsand an assistant professor of nurs-ing at George Mason University inFairfax. “Dental exams are impor-tant to maintain health. Ask for areferral for a dental visit.”

George Mason University’s Col-

lege of Health and Human Servicesruns MAP clinics, which offersschool entry physicals at no cost.

The Fairfax County Health De-partment provides free school-re-quired immunizations at five loca-tions in the county. “We are offer-ing some special extended hours inAugust and September to accom-modate the back-to-school rush,but we recommend that parentsmake the appointment now,” saidJohn Silcox, public safety informa-tion officer, Fairfax County HealthDepartment.

In conjunction with Inova HealthSystem’s Partnership for HealthierKids, the Fairfax County healthdepartment also offers free physi-cals for school entry to uninsuredchildren. The health departmentalso operates three dental clinicsthat provide services to childrenbased on eligibility.

“We operate three health centersin Falls Church, Alexandria andReston that provide primary healthservices for low income, uninsuredresidents who cannot afford primarymedical care services for themselvesand their families,” said Silcox.

Dental services are available foreligible children in Arlingtonthrough high school age. Vaccinesrequired by Arlington County Pub-lic Schools are also available freeof charge.

In Alexandria, the Child HealthClinic provides preventative healthservices for infants and childrenthrough age 5, and physicals fordaycare and school entrancethrough age 11. The AlexandriaHealth Department offers routine

immunizations for infants, teensand adults.

The Montgomery County Mary-land, Health and Human ServicesDepartment offers an ImmunizationProgram with walk-in immuniza-tions to children under the age of

19. The county also offers dentalcare for children ages three to 18.

Sutter says proper sleep andphysical activity are also part of thepediatric health care picture andshould not be overlooked.Transitioning from a summer ofsleeping late to a school year ofearly wake-up calls can be chal-lenging if children are not pre-pared. “Establish a sleep schedulenow,” said Sutter. “With summercoming to an end, it is importantto get kids on a regular sleep sched-ule before school starts.

“Stress the importance of routinephysical activity with your child,”she continued. “Talk about sportsthey might be interested in duringthe school year or other ways to stayphysically fit but most important seta good example. Exercise regularlyyourself or with your children.”

For those experiencing anxietyabout returning to school, Suttersuggests addressing the issue beforethe first day of school. “Come upwith a good plan to address them,”she said. “Talk to your childrenabout kindness and what to do ifhe or she is a victim of bullying andhow to ask for help if needed.”

Local governments, clinics offerfree immunizations for all andphysical exams for the uninsured.

Adam Torres has been chargedwith murdering John Geer.Though Torres shot the unarmedman once in the chest nearly two

years ago, the then-Fairfax County Policeofficer remained on the department’s pay-roll until being terminated July 31, 2015.

Commonwealth Attorney RaymondMorrogh had convened a special grand juryto hear testimony from officers and otherwitnesses to determine whether Torres hadcommitted any criminal wrongdoing. It firstmet for a week beginning July 27 and re-sumed on Aug. 17. The indictment of sec-ond-degree murder was an-nounced later in the dayAug. 17.

Fairfax County Chief ofPolice Edwin Roessler andBoard of Supervisors chair-man Sharon Bulova held ajoint press conference to dis-cuss the new charge.

Roessler opened by shar-ing that he had reached outto the Geer family to againoffer them “my personalcondolences and sympathy.”But he didn’t stop there. “Tothe men and women ofFairfax County Police De-partment and our greatcommunity, my heartfeltsympathy to everybody, be-cause the loss of life in thiscase impacts the Geer family and all of us.”

TORRES was in the process of surrender-ing himself and being processed at theFairfax County Adult Detention Centerwhile the press conference was taking place.He’s currently being held without bond, a

police report said.On Aug. 29, 2013, Geer

had been standing in thedoorway of his Springfieldhome for around 40 min-utes, talking with officerswho had their guns trainedon his chest. Geer’s longtimepartner Maura Harringtoncalled the police earlier be-cause Geer had been throw-ing her belongings out of thehouse after she previouslytold him she was planningto move out of the residenceand he became upset.

In police reports of theincident, Torres claimed tosee Geer quickly lower hisarms, presenting a threat.

The other officers present provided contra-dicting accounts, that Geer’s movementswere slower and nonthreatening. Torresfired once, striking Geer in the chest.

Roessler said he decided to terminateTorres because after reviewing the incidentinvestigation, “the use of force was not rea-

sonably necessary in this matter” and vio-lated police general order 540.1.

Despite the tragedy of the incident itself,Geer’s case drew public and media atten-tion because it highlighted a perceived lackof transparency and accountability in theway Fairfax County and the police depart-ment handled communication and otherpolicies such as use of force.

One response to the criticism was Boardof Supervisors chairman Sharon Bulova’screation of an ad hoc commission to reviewpolice policies.

“Fairfax County has learned a lot throughthis very difficult process,” Bulova said atthe press conference, “learned a lot aboutsharing information in a timely way.”

Though Geer was killed Aug. 29, 2013,very little information about the case wasmade public, much less released to Geer’sfamily following the incident. Ongoing in-vestigations by the police department, Com-monwealth Attorney’s Office and Depart-ment of Justice were cited as reasons whyinformation such as the name of the officerwho shot Geer was withheld for a year anda half.

Geer’s family finally filed a $12 millioncivil suit against the county, including therequest for information. Fairfax Countysettled out of court, paying nearly $3 mil-lion, and released over 11,000 pages ofdocuments from the incident investigation.

“This is the first time we’ve had a situa-tion like this where there has not been arelatively fast resolution to a police-involvedshooting,” Bulova said. The chairman re-ferred to the situation as a “convoluted” onethat “held things up in a way that frustratedthe Board of Supervisors. We were nothappy that things ended up not moving for-ward to resolution, that instead it woundup at the fed level.”

THE AD HOC COMMISSION is sched-uled to present its final recommendationsto the Board of Supervisors in October,however Bulova and Roessler said thecounty hasn’t waited to begin alreadyimplementing some of the suggestions thathave already been put forward by the com-mission.

“I have every confidence a scenario likethis won’t happen again,” Bulova said.

For The Connection

Oakton and Madison highschools are located less thantwo miles apart from each

other, and the annual football gamesbetween these “’cross-town rivals” havedrawn enormous crowds. For the lastseven years, the Cougars have come outon top, but this year the Warhawks aredetermined to break the streak.

Having gone 5-5 in 2014 and missedthe playoffs, coach Lenny Schultz and theWarhawks are focusing solely on theiropening game against their Vienna rival.

“Oakton is always a challenge,” Schultzsaid. “We haven’t done anything until westart the season with a win. … [S]o thatis our first challenge and we aren’t look-

ing really past that until it’s done.”The Warhawks will begin their season at

Oakton on Sept. 4.Hoping to improve from last year, Madi-

son put extra emphasis on the importanceof strength and conditioning during theoffseason, with three players breaking theschool’s previous squat record. Offensivelineman John Bingham (6 feet 4, 215pounds) holds the new school record witha 475-pound squat.

“Our offseason conditioning was reallychallenging and tested us physically andmentally,” Bingham said. “We did a lot ofintense, cross-fit-type stuff and it reallyworks and gets us in shape. We came backthis year bigger and faster.”

Running Madison’s offense is fourth-yearvarsity team member and three-year start-ing quarterback Jason Gastrock, who threw

for 2,000 yards in 2014.“It’s good to have an experienced return-

ing quarterback because we all alreadyknow his strengths and his weaknesses,”Bingham said. “[Gastrock’s] strong, he’ssmart with the ball, and he makes goodchoices. He’s a good leader on offense.”

Also returning to the offense are receiverJordan Ebersole and linemen Ryan Par-tridge and Drew Smith. Schultz hopes tosee an improvement in the team’s runninggame, and suspects that the offensive linewill be the muscle of the team.

“We have a veteran offensive line and wereally feel that they could be the strengthof our team this year,” Schultz said. “Theycommitted to getting stronger in the weightroom and it shows on the field.”

Defensively, returners include safety SamKidd, who had seven interceptions last sea-

son, cornerback Kullen Kritsky, and line-backer Paul Gerdon.

“We run a lot of zone coverage,” Kritskysaid. “We’ve run the same thing for a longtime and it’s worked. Our defensive backshave played well for the past few years.”

With low turnout numbers for tryouts,some inexperienced players will step intostarting roles. Jimmy Goldsmith, aftermissing last season, will fill one of thelinebacker positions.

“I have a lot of confident kids this yearbecause of working out and being stron-ger. We are prepared to do whatever ittakes to win,” Schultz said. “If we needto beat people with our skill game, we’reready to pound it at them and play ahard-nosed, driven game. We can do avariety of things offensively to control thegame. We haven’t beat Oakton in eightyears, so if we beat them, great, on toweek two with another strong team.”

Warhawks look to snap seven-year losing streak to Cougars.

After earning all-state honors as asophomore in 2013, helping theLangley volleyball team win the6A state championship, Jessica

Donaldson missed the majority of her jun-ior season after tearing the ACL in her leftknee during a tournament in Richmond onAug. 30, 2014.

While injured, Donaldson, a 6-foot out-side hitter, continued to spend time aroundthe Saxons, cheering her teammates fromthe bench. After losing to Fairfax in theConference 6 semifinals, the Saxons won aregional match against Chantilly, but endedtheir season with a 3-0 loss to South Countyin the quarterfinals.

Donaldson wasn’t down for long. She“worked really hard at rehab” and wascleared to play just four months after herinjury. She returned to practice with herMetro American Volleyball Club team, buttook things slowly for an additional twomonths.

Now, nearly one year after suffering herseason-ending ACL tear, Donaldson is backpracticing with Langley, preparing for the2015 high school season. Donaldson saidshe saw limited playing time with her clubteam and is happy to be back in a startingrole.

“It feels awesome,” she said. “I was reallyexcited for last year and it’s kind of a bum-mer that it turned out like that because [in

the] preseason we played really well andwe were looking to be a good team. Ofcourse, we didn’t do as well as we wish wehad last year, but this year should be a re-ally good year and I’m excited because it’smy senior year.”

Donaldson is part of an experienced Lan-gley team that has aspirations of playing atVCU’s Siegel Center in November.

“We definitely want to make a run atstates,” said rising sophomore ElenaShklyar, who started at setter as a freshman.“That’s our goal. We want to play well to-gether and have fun, of course, and we wantto win and get some titles.”

The return of Donaldson, who is commit-ted to Lehigh University, is a major reasonfor optimism.

“She looks great,” head coach SusanShifflett said. “She’s hitting the ball as hardas she ever was. … To see that power back

on our court is very exciting. The morale ingeneral with the girls is huge because she’sback.”

Donaldson said watching from the benchwhile injured allowed her to “appreciate thegame from a different perspective.”

“Jess is basically the heart and soul of theteam,” Shklyar said. “Even last year whenshe was on the bench, people would lookto her when we were in trouble. We wouldjust look to her to cheer everyone up. Now,having her on the court is going to make itso much better because you can always relyon her.”

Donaldson is one of several weapons towhich Shklyar can set the ball. Shifflett de-scribed the sophomore setter as “smoothand athletic.”

Rising senior outside hitter KristianStanford is the only Saxon other thanDonaldson to start for Langley’s 2013 state

championship team.“She is our other bookend for the

outsides,” Shifflett said. “Last year, she hadproblems with consistency. We’ll wait to see,but this year, what we’ve seen in our pre-season is she has closed that gap. I expectreally big things from her.”

Rising senior middle blocker Katie Sisslerand rising sophomore middle blockerAllison Franke are also threats at the net.

Rising junior Sarah Maebius is the team’slibero.

Langley will open the season on the roadagainst Broad Run at 7 p.m. on Sept. 1. TheSaxons’ first home game is Sept. 9 againstStone Bridge.

“We need to be a factor,” Shifflett said,“and I think we’re going to be a factor atall levels.”

Langley Crew athletes and alumniof the Langley Crew team are ex-celling in the greater crew com-munity. Taking the skills they have

gained from being on the Langley Crewteam, and applying them in summer cluband collegiate teams, Langley crew athletesare achieving success both academically andon their respective crew teams.

Nathaniel Howe (’12), studying at Yale,has been rowing for the past three seasonson the Yale Lightweight Crew team. Duringhis freshman year, he rowed 4-seat in theFreshman Lightweight 8+, and they tookfirst in the Sprints Championship in thatevent. At the conclusion of the season inhis sophomore year, Nathaniel rowed 2-seatin Third Varsity Lightweight 8+, and hisboat won a silver medal at the SprintsChampionship. This past spring, he againrowed (this time 3-seat) in their Third Var-sity Lightweight 8+, and they came infourth at the Sprints Championship, finish-ing just a few inches back from third.

Sabrina Lamont (’14) was the coxswainin the First Varsity 8 at George Mason Uni-versity where she guided her boat to aneighth-place finish at the prestigious Headof the Charles in Boston, the largest two-day regatta in the world. During Dad Vails,the largest regular intercollegiate regatta,Lamont coxed the Freshman 8+ to a silvermedal, the highest medal finish for the his-tory of the George Mason program.

Tillman Findley (’14) began rowing withAuburn University after four years of expe-rience with Langley Crew and quicklyearned his place as stroke seat of the Nov-ice 8 boat. Findley’s boat raced at severalprestigious regattas such as Head of theHooch in Chattanooga, Tenn., and SIRAsin Oak Ridge, Tenn. While at the SIRAs,Findley was able to catch up with CoachMike Lehmann, the Langley Head Coachduring his four years at Langley who is nowthe Head Coach of men’s crew at NotreDame.

During the majority of the spring season,Tyler Seckar (’14) rowed in the seven-seatof Trinity College’s Second Varsity 8 andhelped lead her team to a winning spring

season. Based on Trinity’s strong spring sea-son and ECAC performance, Trinity won anat-large bid to the NCAA Division III Cham-pionship Regatta in Sacramento, Calif. Trin-ity successfully-defended its 2014 NationalChampionship in the First Varsity 8 and tookSilver honors as a team due to the SecondVarsity 8’s Bronze finish in its event.
