QUOTING JEFF GARBUTT
“This weekend was the culmination of a lot of hard work by our athletes, coaching staff, and everyone that supports our team on a daily basis. Early on when we got to work with the team, they said a top five team finish (at Big Ten Championships) was a one of their goals. To be able to obtain that goal and finisher higher than our seeding this year and better than our team finish from last year is a testament to the young women that show up everyday to Beckwith Boathouse. They demonstrated a truly unbreakable bond of team first and once again moved our team forward. We cannot wait to get back to work next year!”
