Worcester, Mass. - With a morning full of overcast skies, temperatures in the low 40s and light to moderate cross headwind the Colby College Men's and Women's Crew teams competed on Lake Quinsigamond taking on hosts WPI alongside Wesleyan, Smith and Hamilton. The men were racing for the Class of 2003 Cup while the women battled for the Jennifer McLaughlin Cup.
The highlight of the day was all four men's crews (V8, 2V8, 3V8 and V4) sweeping both the Engineers and Continentals with solid overall improvements for both the men's and women's results from last season. The Men's Varsity Eight, going into the event ranked 7th, finished with a time of 6:20.21 good for second place. They were slightly outpaced by the Cardinals just about four seconds ahead. "This was a very good result against the defending DIII National Champions, " stated Head Coach
Stew Stokes. "They did a great job steadily moving away from WPI and Hamilton, while staying very close to the leader and having a strong second half of the race. Overall, there's speed still to gain which is exciting."Â
On the women's side of competition, the young V8 crew finished with a time of 7:38.11 about 10 second behind Smith.Â
Colby Crew will be back in action in Malden, Mass. next Saturday, April 12th facing the Coast Guard Academy.Â
