March 25, 2018 | Rowing
MISSION BAY, Cali. — Tennessee Rowing had four boats in action at the San Diego Crew Classic on Sunday, recording one first place finish and three third place finishes.
UT's 1V4 made it down the course more than five seconds ahead of second-place Kansas State to claim first in the Petite Final of the Women's Collegiate Varsity 4+ Karen Plumleigh Cortney Cup with a time of 8:04.395. Other teams competing in the event were Gonzaga, SDSU, Southern Methodist and Sacramento State.
Tennessee's 1V8 took third in the Petite Final of the Women's Collegiate Varsity Jessop-Whittier Cup Invitational with a time of 7:09.299, besting Oklahoma, UC Santa Barbara and San Diego. Stanford took first with a time of 7:05.631 and Gonzaga finished second at 7:08.246.
In the Petite Finals of the Women's Collegiate 2V Jackie Ann Stitt Hungness Trophy, the Vols' 2V8 finished third with a time of 7:18.899. The University of Victoria won the event with a time of 7:16.227, and Gonzaga edged Tennessee by .06 seconds to take second at 7:18.831. Kansas State, Sacramento State and SDSU placed fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
Tennessee's 3V8 finished third out of seven teams in the Women's Open Carley Copley Cup with a time of 7:29.563. California won the event at 6:51.990 and Stanford took second at 7:06.531. SDSU, Kansas State, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara rounded out the field.
"The San Diego Crew Classic marks the end of the early season for us," said head coach Lisa Glenn. "Our team brought first day energy to the racing today, bolstering overall performance. So far we've found moments of speed and minutes of real investment in each other. Our overall commitment to each other and consequent execution of the actual race need more development as we move into mid-season, but out staff is seeing 'lightbulb' moments occur with several members of the team. As others join in, the effect on our team can be a major positive influence. We are looking forward to meeting mid-season head-on and - most of all - together."
Next Up: The Vols will compete in the Big 12 Double Dual in Lawrence, Kansas against Kansas, Kansas State and Alabama on April 7.
