MORGANTOWN, W.Va – The second varsity eight crew overcame a slow start to claim victory on Saturday as the West Virginia University rowing team continued the spring season with a dual race against Georgetown on Saturday in Washington D.C..
“While we didn't take the team-wide step forward we wanted to see, we did see progress and gained some valuable insight that we'll begin to apply next week,” coach Jimmy King said “We'll take more positives than negatives from today because we identified areas where we can find more speed."
The crew was then able to maintain the lead down the stretch to finish in 6:21.
