After competing in tough wind and weather last weekend, AJRA rowers were excited to compete on a sunny day at Clemson Sprints. All squads continued to build on their spring season with great races and results throughout the day.
AJRA had a dominant day in the 8+’s, winning the Women’s Varsity 8+, Men’s Novice 8+, and Women’s Novice 8+, as well as taking bronze medals with the Men’s 2nd Varsity 8+ in the Varsity 8+ event, and the Women’s Novice B 8+ in the Novice 8+ event.
Just as last year, AJRA’s Men’s Varsity 8+ raced up in the collegiate events, competing as exhibition entries, which means that the boats were unable to advance out of heats or earn medals in those races. However, that didn’t stop them from winning the Men’s Collegiate 8+ event, and placing first in both heats of the Men’s Collegiate 4+.
All results can be found through Regatta Central. Additionally, a photo album from the regatta can be found through Row2k.
