EMU will go up against boats from the CAA, A10, and Big 12
FAIRFAX, Va. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University rowing team is back in action this weekend at the George Mason Invite Sunday, April 22.
EMU jumps down to Virginia for the three-conference showdown. There, the Eagles will battle teams from the Atlantic-10, Big 12, as well as their own league, the Colonial Athletic Association. The A-10 will be represented by host George Mason, St. Joseph's, and George Washington. The Big 12 will have Kansas, Old Dominion, and West Virginia in attendance. Finally, joining the Eagles from the CAA will be Villanova and Delaware.
In the morning sessions, Varsity 8+, Second Varsity 8+ and Varsity 4+ boats will participate in conference heats in which the boats will race against other teams from their league. The top finisher from each league will head to the A Final to compete against the top team from the other two conferences.
The second heat finisher from each conference will participate in a B final against the second finishers from the other two conferences and so on in a format that should lead to competitive races down the stretch. Regardless of heat finish, each boat will have a chance to score points for their home conference in finals action.
The winner of each Varsity 8+ final will earn nine points for its home conference, the second finisher will earn six points and the third will get three. That scoring format will occur in the B Final and C Final as well. The Second Varsity 8+ scoring format will be 6-4-2, while the Varsity 4+ format is 3-2-1 in the A, B, and C Finals.
The conference with the most points at the end of the finals series will be declared the fastest participating conference and the Mason Invite Champion.
At last season's invitational, the Eagles claimed their third straight Harvey Cup, as well as posting the top finish in the 2V8+ CAA heat. The Green and White boat claimed victory with a time of 7:02.7, coming in ahead of fellow CAA rivals, Delaware and Buffalo.
Action gets underway with the V8+ at 8 a.m. Fans can follow the races via the team's Twitter account, @EMURowing.
