The first race of the spring season brought wonderful racing conditions in Blacksburg, VA. Despite being on the water for one week, and having many new novice rowers, all boats had impressive races. Both men’s and women’s novice 8+’s finished second to the Tech boats, and the WL4+ and MV4+ both finished second in their races.While Tech captured the trophy, the last two races, the ML8+ and the WV8+, were both victories for the team.
