@CanesRowing Battles at ACC Championship
CLEMSON, S.C. — The University of Miami rowing program earned a sixth-place finish at the first two-day ACC Rowing Championship in conference history.
Despite not competing in the 3V8+ division, the Hurricanes scored 28 points on Saturday to finish ahead of Boston College and North Carolina. With 80 points, Virginia secured its 14th ACC Championship.
“All our boats were able to race their best race of the season today, which was a team-wide goal,” Miami head coach Dave Sanderson said. “I’m proud of them for their effort today and throughout the season. It was no doubt a learning experience for the athletes, which will motivate them in the offseason. I also want to thanks Clemson and the ACC for hosting an incredible regatta.”
Miami’s top two boats each competed in their respective Grand Final Saturday, with the 1V8+ scoring 12 points with a time of 6:50.6. That was an improvement of over 12 seconds from the 1V8+’s Friday result of 7:02.8.
The 2V8+ placed fifth in its Grand Final with a time of 7:01.6, adding 12 more points to the team score. A day earlier, the 2V8+ earned a spot in the Grand Final with a time of 7:02.8.
The Hurricanes won the V4+ Petite Final, posting a time of 7:59.7 to beat North Carolina in a head-to-head race. Miami’s V4+ finished seventh overall in its division, scoring four points. The V4+ improved by over 20 seconds from its Friday time of 8:20.7.
A crowd of approximately 1,000 fans on Lake Hartwell in Clemson, S.C. watched the eight ACC rowing teams compete in good conditions, with a cross head wind averaging just one mile per hour and temperatures in the high 50s.
Following the conclusion of the ACC Rowing Championship, senior Breanna Hayton was one of eight rowers named to the All-ACC second team.
