Canes Rowing Wraps Up Fall at UCF
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s rowing team wrapped up its fall schedule with a scrimmage at UCF Saturday.
The scrimmage against UCF featured a 2600m time trial, run head race style, followed by three 2K side-by-side pieces at controlled rates for the varsity. Miami’s novices also had three 2K side-by-side pieces at controlled rates, mixing between 6s and 8s.
“Our two varsity crews had a great competitive training session with UCF today,” Miami head coach Dave Sanderson said. “The work they have put in this semester supported their race efforts today. The scrimmage was a ‘check-in’ point for boat speed and a perfect learning opportunity as we look to get faster for ACCs.”
UCF won the first and fourth pieces of the 1V8+ competition, while Miami took the second and third pieces. The Canes also won the final two of four pieces in the 2V8+ race, while the Knights won the first two pieces.
Additionally, Miami’s novices got a taste of competition Saturday and showed potential in one of their first competitive situations as Canes.
“We are really proud of how well this group of young women represented the U today,” assistant coach Claire Frenkel said. “We raced two true novice eights that started rowing 8 weeks ago. The progress they’ve made is tremendous and we can’t wait to keep finding more speed in the upcoming weeks.”
The spring session of racing begins with a two-day trip to Oak Ridge, Tenn., where Miami heads to the Cardinal Invitational on March 16-17. For a complete look at Miami’s schedule, click here.
