Coach Tom: "The team enjoyed the nice weather and gained valuable racing experience. The group learned that confidence in their training and race plan is essential for success at a multi-day regatta. Each crew felt they raced with greater strength and confidence on Day 2 and agreed that approaching the first day of racing with that same mindset may have led to higher-level finals. Overall, the weekend provided strong racing opportunities, and the team will carry lessons learned forward into the rest of the spring season!"
