ATHENS, Ohio - The RMU rowing team continued its spring season Saturday afternoon against Marietta and St. John Fisher. The race was held on Dow Lake in Athens, Ohio. Coming off days of heavy rains, there was a 15-mph headwind that was gusting to near 30-mph at times.
 
RESULTS
The Colonials varsity 8+ took first with a time of 9:17.28. The first varsity 4+ was third, crossing in 8:33.69 and the second varsity 4+ finished in 9:34.01.
 
HEAD COACH ROBERT WEBER
"I think our Varsity 8 had a very good race, especially given the conditions and the complete lack of water time over the past two weeks. Despite those challenges, they managed to build on their race from two weeks ago and are starting to develop a better understanding of it means to race. And our novice 4+ had a strong performance, which was great to see after their first two races of the spring were canceled due to conditions."
