Bantam Bars Born

We're solidly into a New England fall that has featured a beautiful turn of the seasons. In between raking leaves yesterday I did a home gym project making our version of canned weights (The Bantam Bar). A little bit of a dirty process but nevertheless 15 new bars are coming home to roost in the Ferris Athletic Center.

The fall was a big shift for Trinity Women's Rowing as we fielded a large team than we have ever done before. With 4 full eights racing we raced at the Housatonic, Charles, and Schuylkill and came away with medals at all three with some excellent performances by our younger athletes and some growth with our varsity athletes. I've been particularly pleased with how positive our athletes are responding to one another and how that has laid the foundation to really make a run at earning a 9th straight bid to the NCAA Championships to be held in Sacramento this year.

It's all hands on deck from here on out...
