"Awesome to see all four crews improve on their standing from last year and the team move up in overall points as well," said Head Coach Grace Hollowell. "Fantastic work by the Varsity Four to nearly medal and the Third Varsity Eight for winning the Petite Final against some very strong competition. I'm impressed by the team's ability to lean on each other and challenge each other to get better daily, and it showed today across all crews!"
