Varsity 4 Strikes Gold at Yinzer Cup

Colonials open 2022-23 season with home regatta on Neville Island

Moon Township, Pa. – The RMU rowing team opened its 2022-23 season Saturday and opened a new era with its first regatta under head coach Robert Weber with the Yinzer Cup from the McPhail Boathouse on Neville Island.
 
VARSITY CHAMPION
Highlighting the opening meet of the season for the Colonials was the Varsity 4, which claimed gold thanks to a time of 8:54.4. Finishing second was Canisius, which crossed the finish line with a time of 9:19.0. Freshman Brianna Gfroerer served as the coxswain, and she was joined in the boat by junior Kendall Veach, sophomore Sierra Mackey and seniors Emily Kerry and Maria Ringo.
 
VARSITY EIGHT
A pair of boats competed for RMU in Varsity 8 action, posting times of 16:45.6 and 19:22.7, respectively. Gfroerer was also the coxswain for the Varsity 8, while the second Varsity 8 for the Colonials saw sophomore Ajah Edwards serve as coxswain.
 
QUOTABLE
"It was great to finally be able to be out on the water for the first time this season for competition, especially by hosting," Weber said. "We're working hard and getting better, and I'm looking forward to getting back to practice to continue to develop these boats as the season moves forward.
