Courtesy of Coach MacDermott:

"Racing today at the Head of the Housatonic was excellent. We put these crews together on Tuesday following Class Day at the Head of the Riverfront. After just a few practices, every crew raced hard and well. The Varsity lineup was finalized on Friday, and we were pleased with their performance in the Division I event. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Varsity crews excelled in the College event. Our two 4s capped the day with strong runs down the course, competing against crews from Yale, Columbia, and Williams.

"It has been a great fall for the development of our team's skills on the water, overall team fitness, and team culture. I am very proud of our senior class and all the hard work taking place daily at the boathouse."
