The Huskies faced their competition at the Foot today with a fierce, 15-20 mph headwind down a frigid Charles course. The bright sun provided little warmth for the athletes racing on the 2.25-mile course.
The results were strong for the Husky rowers. The Northeastern Novice A 8+ finished third in their race in a time of 16:04.2. Brown won the race in 15:12.7 and Radcliffe was second in 15:28.7. This particular Husky boat has dramatically improved over the season and raced hard and well with Rachel Buff navigating a demanding course and avoiding crashes with ease. "I was very happy with their result," said Coach Paris. "Our goal was to go out hard and leave nothing on the water. We did that today. Now we know who we're going to have to train for during the winter."
The Varsity 4+s had a strong race as well: The Northeastern Varsity 4+ B finished .4 ahead of the A boat in 16:23.1. The A boat's time was 16:23.5. Radcliffe's A boat won the race in 15:50.8, with Brown behind them in 16:05.2 and BU's A boat in 16:18.2.
