Fairfield University’s men’s crew team dedicated a new boat to former crew member Frank Marx ’04 last Saturday during Alumni Weekend.
The dedication took place in Alumni Hall between the men’s and women’s scrimmage basketball games. Mark Reed, Marx’s father and Fr. Jeffrey von Arx all spoke at the dedication, and von Arx blessed the boat.
According to Coach Jim Heneghan, Marx, a four-year rower, was the team’s strongest member. He served as captain during his senior year.
Friends and family of Marx were in attendance and welcomed to a reception at the Alumni House after the games.
The men’s crew team will warp up their season this Sunday at the Dowling Invitational in Oakdale, NY.
