“Opening day is always such a fun race,” said head coach Jenny Park. “The girls trained hard this week and I think the races went well. The novice 8+ had a great season and the varsity 8+ looks forward to PCRC’s next weekend.”
The Redhawk novice 8+ finished third in women’s 3V8+ race ahead of Western Washington while the varsity 8+ finished fourth in the women’s college open 8+.
Next week, the varsity 8+ concludes their season on Saturday, May 14 at the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships, returning to Rancho Cordova, Calif.’s Lake Natoma, the site of the WIRA championships last weekend.
