UM Women's Second Varsity Eight (W2V8+) Race the Dr. Donna E. Shalala to its First Win

March 22, 2003

The University of Miami women’s varsity eight, varsity four and novice four won six of eight head-to-head races against UConn in the first rowing contest of the spring season Saturday morning at Indian Creek , Miami Beach, Fla.

“This was certainly an exciting kick-off to our spring racing season,” said coach Debra Morgan. “Our coxswains did an excellent job leading our crews to a number of well rowed victories. We look forward to the Florida State Championships and San Diego Crew Classic. We had some extra volunteers at the finish line, the dolphins were out in force! We are certainly lucky to row here.”

The Hurricanes return to action April 4 at the Florida State Championships, Tampa Fla. and April 4-5 San Diego Crew Classic (V8 only), San Diego, Calf.
