Laura Newberry of MassLive.com/The Republican has a story on a presentation made by UMass rowing coach Jim Dietz last night at the Basketball Hall Of Fame in Springfield on a potential rowing venue on the Connecticut River as part of the 2024 Boston Olympics bid. Dietz, who is also Vice President of the U.S. Rowing Board of Directors, says the venue would be a boon to the area long after the Olympics due to the popularity of the sport in the region.
