WVU Opens Fall Season at Bucknell

The teams were competing for the Skotedis Cup, named after the former Bucknell rowing coach, John Skotedis. A first and second varsity eight competed for both teams in each event, with the winner of each race earning a point towards the Skotedis Cup. Bucknell won the Skotedis Cup by a final score of 6-2.

“This weekend’s combined head and sprint racing was quite fun and provided a more in-depth assessment of where we’re starting this year at,” coach Jimmy King said. “I am very happy to see how our crews attacked their racing and I’m particularly pleased with the change and improvements made from race to race by both crews.
