PHILADELPHIA - The Temple men's lightweight 4 won gold Saturday at the 29th Annual Murphy Cup, but the Owls two eights had to settle for silver in one of the top collegiate regattas held on the Schuylkill River.
Temple's varsity 8, rowing in its new Jason "JR" Read shell, came in 4.43 seconds behind first place Virginia. Temple was 2.05 seconds ahead of 2010 champion Jacksonville. The Owls top boat, comprised of junior James Barr (stroke), senior Scott Waters (7-seat), junior Jason Cartwright (6-seat), junior Brian Reehill (5-seat), freshman Fergal Barry (4-seat), junior Aaron Heyde (3-seat), sophomore Mike Mirabella (2-seat), senior John Masterson (bow) and junior Donald Norris (cox), had won its morning heat, defeating second place La Salle by 3.97 seconds.
