Strong Finish to a Successful Fall Season

On Saturday the men's varsity and novice crews made a strong showing on their home turf, coming out on top over Maryland in every single race. The pieces were slightly unorthadox for a regatta at just shy of 1000m, but multiple lengths were run per race to adjust for error. The UNC A V8+ came out undefeated after a merciless effort not only against Maryland's top 8+, but also against the other two 8+'s fielded by UNC. Overall, it was a great experience; the Crew would like to thank Maryland and all of the friends and family that showed up to support us, having that many spectators at ULake was simply incredible, thank you so much! Going in doors for a while, we'll see you in the Spring! Oh, and don't forget to stay warm this holiday season with our newly-designed winter apparel, you can find the catalogue here.
