\t\t\t\tOn April 2nd, Bowdoin boats swept the Clark Invitational Regatta! Then we had a pretty cold week up here in Maine. This was for the best, though, considering the conditions we were about to face in New Jersey. The Bowdoin Navy withstood some crazy weather\u00a0this past Saturday at the Knecht Cup, but, as one of our alumni said, the wind and sleet were merely a \u201ccalm day on the New Meadows\u201d. Still, every boat managed to advance to either the Grand or Petite Finals!<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s races allowed Bowdoin to rake in five medals, and our other two boats finished top-three in their events.<\/p>\n
In the Grand Final events, the women\u2019s varsity A and B won gold and silver medals, respectively; the men\u2019s varsity A and B won gold and bronze medals, respectively; and the men\u2019s novice A won bronze. In the Petite Finals events, the women\u2019s novice A came in second and the men\u2019s novice B came in third. It was a nice feeling to come away from a day of racing where every single Bowdoin boat finished top three! Great job, Bears.<\/p>\n
Thanks to all the families and alums who brought food and dogs and companionship to our trailer! And also a big thank you to the families who provided a much-needed rest stop on the way back up to Bowdoin. Everyone is safe and sound, ready to rig and get back to work this week.<\/p>\n
Next up, the UMass Lowell Invitational on Saturday and the President\u2019s Cup on Sunday.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
