QUOTING HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“We got to spend the last two weeks at the Coralville reservoir, which was advantageous for our team to practice on a flat body of water with no current. We are looking to finish the year hitting our team and boat goals. With a couple lineup switches, we are looking to go into the Big Ten Championships maxing our speed. Our girls have remained process driven, really focusing on their skills and techniques. We are going to go out and give it our all! Go Hawks!”
