Today’s regatta saw the MD crew establishing a starting point for the rest of the season. The Varsity A and B boats came in 8th and 9th, respectively. The A boat, stroked by senior Kevin Brown came in at 15:12.2, and the B boat stroked by sophomore Kellin Smith came in at 16:37.8, and was issued a 30 second penalty for being on the wrong side of a race buoy.

The Open Four was unable to make it to the starting line on time, but rowed with a later heat, and came in 4th.
