First meet for women’s rowing

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.
