COACHES QUOTEÂ
"Today was the 19th year we've run this regatta with St. Joe's as the season opener, and we're grateful to the SJU Rowing Program for their hospitality and sportsmanship. Having 6 boats go down the course was a testament to the work the entire team has put in over the winter, and makes us excited to continue to develop the depth we need to compete at the Conference Championship in May. With our first race of the season under our belt, we're eager to get back on home water for our next training block."
