HEAR FROM HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT

"The Princeton Chase did not disappoint. The conditions were perfect for the record number of teams and boats this year.

"The Hawkeyes had a complete team performance, besting many of our times from last year across all boat classes. I am so impressed with this group and how they traveled, but most importantly, raced. So much energy, effort and enthusiasm. The team's depth has increased to a new level of competitiveness, and I can't wait to see what this group does over the coming months as we begin to prep for the spring season!

"Go Hawks!"
