Ithaca Race Day

The spring season has finally arrived with decidedly wintry conditions - the temperatures for tomorrow's race will be 28 degrees at 9 AM when the varsity race goes off against Marist College. The second varsity will race Ithaca in the morning at 9:30 AM.

The trailer drive up was fairly easy and it was great to see Marist women and Marist men along with the Cornell crews practicing in frigid temperatures. The challenge will be to row our best race when confronted with extremely uncomfortable race conditions. Illnesses have forced some rowers out of competition on both the men's and women's side so this will be a good test of our resiliency as a team.

To our novice rowers I hope that your first 2000m race experience will be an unforgettable one that only whets your appetite for future competition!
