Iowa had two novice 8 boats compete at the championships. The 1N8 crew posted a fifth place finish with a time of 6:57.66. The 2N8 boat placed seventh at 7:26.91.
“Clearly this was not how we wanted to end our season and it’s not indicative of the practices we have had up to the championships nor the work put in by the group,” said Head Coach Mandi Kowal. “Each boat worked tirelessly in the past two weeks to prepare for this race and unfortunately we came up short.”
