This past weekend Texas Crew participated in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta held in Oak Ridge TN. SIRA is our regional championship and one of the largest spring regattas in the country. Texas Crew had the best results that it has ever had at this regatta. TXCrew entered twelve events and reached the grand finals in nine of them. Texas Crew medaled in six events with a bronze in the Men's Novice Light Four, Silver in Men's Novice 4, Men's Varsity Light 4 and Gold in the Men's Frosh/Novice Light 8, Men's Frosh/Novice B 8 and Men's Frosh/Novice 8 (sweeping the Men's Novice 8 races). In addition to the above results the Novice Women's A boat won the Petite Final, our Varsity Men's and Women's 4's had good showings in their events. Also the Novice Women's B boat and a Novice Men's 8 racing in the Junior Varsity Event both had great showings in very difficult events. Finally to end the regatta the Varsity Men's Eight finished sixth after reaching the Grand Final for the first time in over six years.
