I was very pleased with the team's attitude and commitment to working together. I think they had fun as well.
We were happy with the positive results after a long time away from competition. It was a great day and we wanted to see some good times and effort, I feel like we saw both. It is a step in the right direction but there is still work to be done.
We are racing on Saturday with San Diego in mind.
The novice eight is great, very fast, learning quickly. This is the big time for them. They've not seen anything like the Crew Classic.
It was a good day on the water for us. We had some good results and we are happy with the output after a tough meet last weekend. Both Kansas and Cincinnati are good programs and each race was a tough test. This was great competition for us leading into the Crew Classic.
It was great to see a strong field and competition for this early spring race. We saw some great performances from all the teams. All of these programs have a lot to look forward to for the next couple of days and the rest of their seasons.
The competition at the Crew Classic is our toughest to date. It'll be a challenge making it into the finals.
