Hawk Talk (with Head Coach Mike Irwin)
"The opportunity to compete for the Bergen Cup each year is something that the whole squad circles on the race calendar. It is a preview of things to come at the Dad Vail between the Philly four of St. Joe's, Drexel, La Salle, and Temple. We need to keep honing our skills at top speed to be ready for three races in two days on May 10 and 11 in Camden, New Jersey. It is a high stress time next week with exams and championship racing but the Hawks will be ready!"
