On the Record

• "I am extremely proud of the team following our performance at the Eastern Sprints.  The team has grown dramatically since last year. To see the progress, especially in the lower boats with so many freshmen competing is a wonderful sign of a stronger future for the program.  We are excited to be competing as a squad at the IRA National Championship in two weeks and hope to keep the positive momentum going." – Head Coach Jim Granger
