Mountaineers Race Away with Six Victories

The Mountaineers swept the first and second varsity eight events en route to six wins and one runner-up finish in 10 events against the Panthers, Dukes and Lakers on the 2,000 meter course.

“I’m particularly pleased with the consistent effort and execution of our varsity eight boats today,” said coach Jimmy King. “The time differences in rounds are a bit misleading due to the use of floating starts, but both eights put together back-to-back quality races. Although the varsity fours came up short in the first round of racing, I was happy to see both crews race more aggressively to earn wins in round two.
