A Quarter-Million Dollars has been invested into the crew center alone. The Crew room is still located along the indoor track, but it now occupies twice the area it used to. Other renovations include leveling of the track and the installation of a large window to allow runners to see inside the crew center itself. The new Crew Center will be unveiled to the public on September 3rd. One of the latest additions to the Columbia Crew Web Site now allows High School students to directly enter their names into a recruiting database.
All information entered by each student is gathered by a script into a single file.
This file is downloaded by the coaches and is automatically accessed by a program which sorts their names, addresses, erg scores, etc. At the touch of a button, the coaches can have mailing labels printed and ready for sending. See Article For More Info.
