Oct. 25, 2006
BOSTON, Mass. – The University of Miami rowing team headed north to compete in the world’s largest regattas, the 42nd Head of the Charles Regatta, in Boston, Mass. October 21-22.
With more than 7,500 athletes from around the world competing in 26 different race events, the Head Of The Charles® Regatta has developed massively as the world’s largest two-day rowing event.
The Hurricanes were impressive out on the Charles River as they participated in three races.
“I am very pleased with the performances of all three of our boats that raced in Boston”, commented head coach Debra Morgan.
Miami began their day in the Youth Doubles (2x) Women’s College Division. Junior Emy Huntsman and freshman Caitlin Augustin placed fourth, clocking in at 19:51.710.
“Emy did a great job steering, and it was great to see the way Caitlin handled her first out-of-state race as a Hurricane so well”, Morgan stated.
Senior Sarah Conlon chimed in an impressive fifth place out of twenty-seven rowers in Women’s Club Singles (1x) with a time of 21:33.787.
“Sarah raced in the Club Single as an unaffiliated rower and had a very sharp performance as well”, added Morgan.
“The Championship Four had a very strong performance in a very tough field. That was exciting to see.”
The Hurricanes took part in their final race of the day in the Championship four (4+) placing tenth overall out of twenty. Miami finished at 19:01.448 right above Princeton University, who clocked in at 19:03.922.
In Charlottesville, Va., the Hurricanes will return to the water to compete in the Rivanna Romp, November 12th. Race time is TBD.
