SAN DIEGO — The University of Miami rowing program completed their first day of competition at the San Diego Crew Classic on Saturday.

The 1V had a strong start in Mission Bay, finishing first in their heat of the Cal Cup with a time of 6:36.77. That was the fastest qualifying time for the Cal cup, giving Miami the top seed in Sunday’s A-Final. That race is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. EST.
