SPRING LAKE, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University rowing team overcame harsh weather conditions to claim three victories at the 21st Annual Lubbers Cup Saturday-Sunday, April 9-10, at Spring Lake in western Michigan.
The freezing temperatures, as well as heavy precipitation in the area of competition, forced numerous races to be cancelled over the two-day span, including two of the races EMU was scheduled to race in.
In total, Eastern ran in seven races, including three for the Varsity 8 boat, and two for both the Varsity 4 and Novice 8. The Varsity 8 boat claimed victory in two of their races, while the Novice 8 boat won one of its two races.
