HEADWIND WINS AT QUINSIGAMOND

WORCESTER, M.A. -- On Saturday, October 12th, the team had their second race of the season in Worcester, MA on the Quinsigamond River. The temperature was a bit on the colder side compared to the first race, and there was a very strong headwind from the very start. This yielded slower times and conditions that the girls were not used to rowing in.  

Final Results 

1v4+ 

• 9th place: 21:03.7 

2v4+ 

• 12th place: 21:26
