The Brass Oarlock AwardIn old wooden shells, the riggers had brass oarlocks. The sleeve of the oar was covered in leather (called oar leathers) which would rub against the inside of the brass oarlock with each stroke. Over time, the outside part of the oarlock would become rough or pitted and develop a patina, but the inside of the oarlock stayed shiny and beautiful. "Brass Oarlock" is given to the man and woman on the team who may not be the most showy, but prove their devotion and commitment to the team through hard work, persistence, and tenacity.

The Broken Fin Award
The "Broken Fin" is given to an outstanding Susquehanna coxswain each year. This year in particular, it was given also to a rower turned coxswain that actually had a "broken fin" (his elbow).
2010 - James Hendershot
The Shaft
The "Shaft" is a broken old Susquehanna oar which is passed down each year - rower to rower - to someone who "gets the shaft." Essentially through bad luck or circumstance, this person may not have the best year, but who is still commitment to the team and also has an outstanding attitude.
2010 - John Adams
The Green Sweatpants Award
The "green sweatpants" used to be passed down to a rower with an awesome fashion sense and attitude. During my time on the team, a pair of lime green sweatpants actually existed, but most have fallen a part in recent years. In place of the sweat pants, Courtney Jean Lippincott surrendered her famous yellow rain boot (before rain boots ever became so popular).
2010 - Haley Murphy passed down the award to Paula Trinchera, whose funky/bright spandex and outlook always keep us entertained!
The Ergman Award
The "Ergman" was created by Coach Steve's wife Patty. It is passed down from rower to rower and symbolizes someone who attacks the ergs.
2010 - Devin Thomas passed the cape on to Rob Pennaherrara
