YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – After delays due to weather conditions at Ford Lake, the Eastern Michigan University rowing squad completed the 2014 Mid-American Collegiate Rowing Association Championships Saturday, April 26.
The Eagles' Varsity 8 team grabbed a second-place finish in the trial rounds, crossing the line at 7:00.80, just three seconds behind the Grand Valley 2V8 boat. The time secured EMU a place in the championships, while the Green and White's 2V8 boat finished fourth with a time of 7:42.00 and Mercyhurst earned the victory coming in at 7:10.30.
The 1V8 boat reached the final, earning a bronze medal after finishing just a tenth of a second behind the Mercyhurst boat at 7:09.90. Since Grand Valley raced two boats, only the 1V8 team was eligible to earn a medal, bumping EMU into the third-place spot.
"Good day of racing after a long day of weather delays." said Head Coach Brad Holdren. "The girls did well and continue to improve."
The Eagles will take three weeks off to prepare for the Colonial Athletic Association Championships. The CAA Championships will be in Mercy County, NJ and the Green and White will look to improve upon its fifth-place finish just a season ago.
