At the beginning of the year, the Drake women’s rowing team sat down together and listed out their goals for the season. Those goals ranged from keeping their GPA above 3.5 to preventing injuries. Jazmynn Good, a sophomore on the rowing team, said that it is all about making sure the team is strong both in and out of the water.
The biggest goal they have is to get three boats to the grand finals at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) championship. Sophomore Gracie Joblinske explained that, last year, the team automatically qualified for regionals, but this year that might not be the case, so the team is determined to perform at a high enough level to qualify yet again.
