YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University rowing team competed in five races today, April 15, at the Knecht Cup on the Cooper River in Cherry Hill, N.J. and at Michigan State University's Spartan Invitational on Lake Ovid in Laingsburg, Mich.
How It Happened
At the Knecht Cup, the Eagles' Varsity Four began morning with a fourth place finish in second heat of the fours race. EMU crossed the finish line just behind Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) foe University of Delaware with a time of 8:35.58.
The First Varsity Eight raced next for Eastern Michigan, posting another fourth place effort at 7:06.87. CAA member Drexel University took the top spot in the first heat with a time of 6:51.26. The effort placed the Eagles in the third lane of the second semifinal in their category where the squad finished fifth at 7:07.86. The time qualifies the Eagles for the Women's Varsity Eight Third Final tomorrow.
The Green and White's Second Varsity Eight competed against conference challengers University of Connecticut and Drexel. The Eagle boat claimed fourth place with a time of 7:43.36 while Drexel and UConn went one and two, respectively. The performance earned the Second Varsity Eight a spot in tomorrow's Petite Final.
At the Spartan Invitational, Eastern Michigan's Third Varsity Eight squad started the day off with a third place finish to MSU's Novice Eight and Third Varsity Eight boats with a time of 8:02.2. In their afternoon race, the Eagles came in behind the Spartan's Second Novice Eight boat at 8:20.56.
Post Race Quotes
"The 3V was definitely challenged at the Michigan State Invitational this afternoon," said Assistant Coach Annie Cantu. "The competitive nature was high across the field of racing which seemed to catch us off guard. However, we were in a borrowed boat and handled the adversity of equipment failures with grace. All in all, we made progress in technical changes and found a starting point for what we need to work on over the next few weeks."
