Hurricanes Finish Fall Season With Solid Results at the Rivanna Romp and Florida Fall Classic

Nov. 14, 2004

Coral Gables, Fla. – The University of Miami’s varsity crew finished in second place in the quad competition at the Rivanna Romp Sunday morning after the novice crew took first place finishes in the novice eight and four events at the Florida Fall Classic Saturday afternoon, to close out the fall portion of their schedule.

UM’s varsity squad took part in the Rivanna Romp which was held at the Rivanna Reservoir in Charlottesville, Va. The regatta, which was hosted by the University of Virgnia, was the team’s final competition until the spring.

The Hurricanes’ “A” crew of Sarah Conlon, Anna Cohen, Natasha Lejer and Taurii Coyne, took second place in the quad competition with a time of 15:31.0.

In the doubles competition, Miami’s “B” crew of Ashley Marincsin and Ashley Via came in third in a time of 17:41.6, followed by the “A” boat of Emy Huntsman and Bethany Krawec which finished fourth with a time of 17:48.0.

The Hurricanes’ novice crew traveled to Melbourne, Fla. on Saturday November 13th, to compete in the Florida Fall Classic. The Hurricanes performed well with two first place finishes in the Novice ‘A’ 8 and Novice ‘B’ 4 events.

“I am so proud of everyone on this team,” said novice coach Andrea Saathoff after the Florida Fall Classic. “We have come so far in such a short amount of time and that is a direct result of the commitment and effort they have put forth. Except for two of the rowers in the first 8, not one of these girls had taken a stroke before in their life until they joined this team. Our results this weekend show that we’re on the right track and I’m excited to see how we do in the spring!”
