Director of Rowing Mike Lane
"This weekend allowed for lots of racing opportunities. Most of our boats raced three times which gave us the opportunity to learn from one race to the next. All of our boats continued to improve in certain aspects of their races to better prepare us for MAAC. 
 
Racing at the Knecht Cup put us up against some MAAC competitors. This is always important mid-season to really see where our speed is. We are all proud of the work each athlete put out on the racecourse between Saturday and Sunday. 
 
Our team has made significant improvements, and I am excited to watch this team get faster. We now look forward to four more weeks of training before we are at this course again for the MAAC Championship!"

JU will head to the SIRA Regatta on Friday and Saturday (April 18-19).
