The team continues to train for the A-10 Conference Championship being held this weekend on the Cooper River, N.J.  After a tough round of racing last weekend at the Knecht Cup the girls will be working all week to pick up speed and prepare for the racing ahead.  They will be heading to N.J. on Friday with a full day of racing to follow.  Check out the race schedule here.  Best of luck to our rowers!

Knecht Cup Recap

 

Congratulations to all the rowers who raced at the Knecht Cup last weekend. A synopsis of the race results can be found here. A tough weekend of racing provided a chance for the team to fine tune their race plans for the upcoming A-10s.  The rowers will continue to train this week in preparation for the championship race.  We applaud their dedication to the team and wish them luck in achieving their goals.

Welcome!

This blog has been created to offer members of UMass Women's Rowing and their families a common site to post information about races and regattas.  Although a work in progress, I hope that this blog will help rowers and the families, friends, and alumni that support them by eventually offering a cohesive site where everything from directions and schedules to photos and favorite race day foods can be found.  Accordingly, please feel free to post information and news about the team or share photos from race day.   Directions and tentative schedules of races will be linked to under the post on the race.  Comment on posts, ask questions, offer suggestions, or just let your rowers know you are cheering them on!  Thanks for your continued dedication.
