"In Boston, the team put together solid final preparation and strategic racing in their events," said Head Coach Lisa Glenn.
"The fours brought strong presence and fire to the race course this weekend. They seized the opportunity to feel their positive impact on the crew and the speed of the boat and used this consistently down the course. What is even better is that both the Club four - who medaled - and the Champ four - who finished top 5 - are hungry for more. That's what you want representing Tennessee Rowing."
