"With winter training and spring break behind us, I am ready to finally get to our racing season. The team has done a great job adapting to our new routines and has put in the work to be race ready. We have a great blend of experience levels that are starting to figure things out. As with many schools in our region, I am excited to see how we progress each week with more opportunity to get to row. We will race 17 out of the top 20 schools this spring and have one of the most challenging schedules in college rowing. Our staff has done a fantastic job with the squad, and I can't wait to see the hard work pay off."
