@CanesRowing Announces 2016-17 Schedule
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — University of Miami head rowing coach Dave Sanderson announced the Hurricanes’ 2016-17 schedule.
The Canes will compete in four fall events and six spring events prior to the 2017 ACC Championship in May. Miami will race on its home course four times during the 2016-17 season, including an appearance at the Head of the Indian Creek, and is set to compete at the Head of the Charles and Knecht Cup.
“I am excited for our racing opportunities this year,” Sanderson said. “The fall racing is exciting this year, as we expand the Head of the Charles travel team. I know the team is excited for the competition in Boston. Our spring schedule includes great events, with a number of them in Florida. Each race weekend will build off of the last and prepare us for our ultimate goal of performing at our best at ACCs in May.”
The Hurricanes’ fall schedule begins with a scrimmage against Barry University on Sept. 24. Miami’s first official racing action will be at the Head of the Indian Creek on Oct. 16, giving the Hurricanes two consecutive events on their home course to open their season.
Miami travels to the prestigious Head of the Charles in Cambridge, Mass., on Oct. 22-23 and will wrap up the fall with a home regatta against UCF on Nov. 4.

Miami will compete at a regatta in Sarasota, Fla., the weekend of March 31-April 1 before heading to the Knecht Cup on April 8-9.
