The first two sets of results are in: the Club 8+ (Rachel Buff, Laura Carroll, Ronnie Townsend, Jen Forbes, Katie Ward, Maria Ciminelli, Delaney Wintermeyer, Liz Biddle, Kailyn Yard) finished 13th out of 51 crews in 17:58, 4.03% of the winning time. The University of Tennessee won the event in 17:16. Northeastern finished ahead of many programs' varsity or junior varsity boats (Boston College, Holy Cross, MIT, Trinity). Coxswain Rachel Buff steered a phenomenal course, demanding (and receiving) an outstanding performance from a purely freshman boat, one of the few freshman boats in the race. They also closed the gap on Yale from the last race, finishing just 25 seconds behind them compared to the minute and a half margin two weeks ago.
The Club 4+ (Jenny Kulakowski, Annaliese Johnsen, Becky Gerstein, Sarah Brand, Lisa Karcich) finished 27 out of 31 in 21:32. This boat was a very inexperienced crew and did a great job keeping their technique together throughout a very long race. While numerically their result seems unimpressive, they had a great race and accomplished the goals they set out to achieve.
More updates tomorrow!
