Tar Heels Optimistic Following Knecht Cup

The UNC rowing team wrapped up two days of racing at the Knecht Cup on Sunday with solid results and an optimistic outlook heading into a training phase. The Tar Heels now have just over a month before they compete next at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships on May 13-14.

The Knecht Cup, which included 70 schools, took place on Mercer Lake in West Windsor Township, N.J. On Saturday, racing was halted in mid-afternoon by a chilly rain, and it resumed on Sunday morning.

The Tar Heels’ six boats all had successful days:

• The varsity eight was fourth in the petite final in 6:52.
