INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- On Friday afternoon, all No. 4 University of Texas boats placed in the top two spots, sending the entire team to Saturday's A/B semifinals. Despite several hours of race delay due to debris on the course, the Longhorns maintained composure and advanced all crews in a strong fashion.
Head Coach Dave O'Neill was very pleased with his team: "Today was a good day, but it's only Day One. This regatta is a multi-step process, and it's important to manage all the emotion, recovery, and preparation that each phase requires. I'm really impressed with the way the team handled the day and then raced really well.
