The women’s rowing team competed for the first time this fall Saturday, securing three victories at the Navy Day Regatta on the Schuylkill River.
The Temple “A” boat, Freshmen 8 boat and the Freshmen 4 boat all crossed the line first in their respective events.
Paired together a few hours before competition, the Freshmen 4 separated themselves from the field, finishing with a time of 16:49. 32, 23 seconds ahead of their six competitors.
“Yesterday was the first time we actually practiced in the 4 and because of the rain and the bad conditions last night, we only got to practice for about 15 minutes,” freshman Ciara O’Sullivan said.
