RESULTS

"It was a solid finish, matching last year's. We finally had great conditions for racing. The Varsity 8 had a great heat but showed its youth a bit in the final. The Second Varsity 8 had a great final sprinting through Fordham," said head coach Gerry Quinlan. “The team went through a lot this year and we didn't let it affect us. We have great leadership and although we have seven seniors- we are very young at the top. We will be back this Fall with a vengeance.“
