Matuse x Head of The Charles

Lenny Futterman representing.

Matuse family member Lenny Futterman shown here sporting his Premium (the ichiban) Game Matuse gear at the 2011 Head of The Charles this past October. Futterman is no stranger to the Matuse blog or to the medal podium in the past couple years of competitive rowing. Before arriving last year in Boston for his Freshman year, Lenny competed for the prestigious Vesper Rowing Club in Philadelphia and took his squad to Club Nationals, where Futterman won the Senior 4 and the Senior 8, both by sizable margins. Last year as a Freshman at Boston University, Futterman sat seventh seat in the Men’s Freshman 8, solidified wins for the Terriers against Brown, Northeastern, and Wisconsin, and competed in the Grand Finals of both the Eastern Sprints and IRA’s (the National Championships for NCAA). After a very successful and productive Freshman season, Futterman became the youngest member to be selected to the U.S. Youth 23 team at 19. Representing the Red, White, and Blue this Summer over in Amsterdam, Futterman competed for the U.S. in the Men’s Double Sculls for the 2011 World Championships. Ya…he’s that nice. At the Chuck, Lenny helped the Terriers solidify a 7th place finish, with a time of 14:36.3. Keep a potential look out for Lenny this Summer in London for the 2012 games and representing team U.S.A. for many years to come.
