TX Crew earns one medal at ECAC
Texas Crew sent four 8+'s to the 2006 ECAC National Rowing invitational regatta. The regattta is the championship for teams that do not offer scholarships. In the past, we have never sent more than one boat. Just the presence of 4x the burnt orange is an accomplishment!
In cold, rainy conditions, Texas Crew managed to bring home one medal from the ECAC national rowing invitational. The men's 2nd Frosh 8 brought home the bronze, even with equiment failure. The bronze for the 2F was a little disappointing given their #1 performance in the heat, but the boat finished up a season where it never failed to medal in any event.
The Men's varsity 8, rowing with a reduced lineup rowed its best in the heats and semis, only to have their final cancelled due to the rainy conditions.
The Men's freshman 8, after a rude awakening in the heat finished 2nd in the petite finals. Next year's guys will remember to bring waterproof and warm clothing when it is suggested!
The Women's novice 8 also finished 2nd in their petite final, a team best.
The crew would like to thank Quality Auto Group for their generous donation that made this trip possible. Visit them at http://www.texasquality.com. Without their support, it would have been cost prohibitive to attend the regatta. # 3:53 PM
