QUOTABLES - Head coach Robert Weber
"We've had a good week of practice with a lot more consistent water time, and we've seen good improvement from our crews. I'm excited to see if our V8 can put together a better race than last weekend against some of the same competition. There are crews in this race that we feel as if we should be very competitive with, so it'll be a good measure of our progress."
