@CanesRowing Improves on Day 2 at Clemson
CLEMSON, S.C. — A day after battling wind and rain in the opening session of the 2014 Clemson Invitational, the University of Miami rowing team showed improvement in the final two sessions on Lake Hartwell.
The Hurricanes had boats racing in the 1V8+, 2V8+ and V4+ divisions this weekend. Both the 1V8+ and 2V8+ ran three races, while the V4+ competed in two races. The third V4+ race was cancelled due to safety concerns and poor racing conditions.
“Our student-athletes raced as hard as they could against some great competition,” Miami head coach Dave Sanderson said. “Our goal at every regatta is to learn and improve and we accomplished that in each race.”
On Saturday, Miami battled a crosswind of 20+ mph. Despite the challenging weather, the 1V8+ finished its first race in 7:37.9, while the 2V8+ completed the 2000m course in 8:12.1 and the V4+ crossed the finish line in 9:38.4.
Poor weather caused Session 2 of the three-session Clemson Invitational to be postponed until Sunday morning. Miami returned to Lake Hartwell on Sunday and posted improved times from their initial runs down Clemson’s home course.
Miami’s 1V8+ finished Session 2 in 7:18.4, shaving nearly 20 seconds off their Session 1 time. The 2V8+ followed the trend of improvement, completing its second race in 7:38.1. The Canes’ V4+ cut nearly a minute off its first time, crossing the finish line in 8:24.9.
The Hurricanes top two boats raced for a final time Sunday, while the V4+ race was cancelled due to safety concerns and poor racing conditions. Miami’s 1V8+ completed its third race of the weekend in 7:27.3, while the 2V8+ crossed the finish line in 8:01.3.
“We finished off the weekend with some of our better racing and we will build from that,” Sanderson said. “Our team continues to redefine itself: Miami Rowing – hard work and outstanding positive attitude.”
