MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University rowing team closed the 2018 regular season on Saturday by competing against Saint Joseph's and Delaware on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.
"Today was a solid day for the team as a whole," assistant coach Tina Griffith said. "Each crew was able to put together a more complete set of races and was able to make gains upon last week's results. We are looking forward to carrying the momentum from this weekend into the next few weeks of practice and into our conference championships."
The Mountaineers began the day by taking on host Saint Joseph's in four races. The third varsity eight boat opened the contest for West Virginia, besting their counterparts by less than a second, finishing with a time of 7:16.3. Saint Joseph's crew finished the race in 7:17.0.
WVU (7:56.7) would fall in the varsity four contest as the Hawks crossed the finish line in 7:42.7. The Mountaineers finished five seconds behind St. Joe's, who completed the race in 8:02.98.
West Virginia closed the first session with two straight wins in the second varsity eight and varsity eight races. In the second varsity eight race, the Mountaineers crossed the finish line in 7:04.2 to pace Saint Joe's (7:06.4). WVU would then finish ten seconds ahead of its competitors, finishing in 7:07.5 to defeat SJU (7:17.2).
After a short break, WVU began the afternoon session of racing, where the Mountaineers faced Delaware. The Blue Hens defeated the Mountaineers in the third varsity eight, first varsity four, second varsity eight and varsity eight races to close the event.
West Virginia will return to Morgantown to prepare for the Big 12 Championship on May 12, in Melton Lake, Tennessee. The Big 12 Championship is hosted by the Oak Ridge Rowing Association. The Mountaineers will join Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Texas and Big 12 affiliate members, Alabama, Old Dominion and Tennessee in the event.
