In the premier race of the day, the varsity eight, the Bearcats took first place in a time of 7:19, bettering West Virginia?s mark of 7:26.
?Today was a great regatta for us against a future BIG EAST opponent,? said Bearcat head coach Tim Royalty. ?Our novice eight was dominating and our varsity eight rowed a good race as well. We are looking forward to competing in regionals in two weeks.?
