SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The Boston College rowing team posted a strong performance at Head of the Fish Regatta with a first place finish by the 2v8+ and second place finishes for v8+, v4+, and the novice 8+ crews.
The Eagles closed their time in New York with a win from the 2v8+, multiple silver medals from v8+, v4+ and novice 8+ crews, and the fastest 3v race time of the Regatta posted by the 3v8+ crew.
"It's great to get in a full day of racing with the whole team, and to come away with a win in the 2v 8+ and multiple second place finishes against some strong competition," said head coach Grace Hollowell. "Also awesome to see the freshmen and the walk-ons getting their first racing experience as an Eagle. And a special shoutout to the 3v for being the fastest 3v at the regatta today! Looking forward to continuing to find speed in the next month!"
