Spring Speed!
After a terrific training trip to good old Camp Bob Cooper, The Navy is off to a speedy beginning to spring season.
At The Big Three with Amherst and Middlebury on April 13, Bowdoin won 4 of the 8 events for fours, and was second in the remaining 4. In the Eights, Bowdoin finished just a length behind Midlebury in hard fought rows up the Connecticut.
The Varsity Women, Varsity Men, Lightweight Men, and Novice Men all posted victories while the Second and Third Women, Novice Women and Second Men raced hard to claim second in thier events. Bowdoin’s Second Novice Men finished third in the Novice Men’s race, fast enough to beat Amherst’s First Novice entry.
Next weekend the Navy travels to Lowell, MA to the Riverhawk Racing Series with UMASS and others, and on Sunday contests the President’s Cup with Colby and Bates at Greene, ME.
