Coach Brace's Post Regatta Comments
"We took another step forward as a program today. We showed that we are gaining depth on this team with the tremendous fight that our Second Varsity Eight raced with today. To have the Second Varsity Eight medal for the first time truly shows where we are headed as a program. I am beyond grateful for the leadership that our seniors have shown through the many changes in this program over the last nine months. In addition, I am so thankful and appreciative of the endless amount of work my staff has dedicated to put us in a position to take home a Third-place team finish today. We are ready to hit the ground running as we move into the off-season to continue to raise the bar for the future."
