UT Wraps Up Big Ten Invitational

SARASOTA, Fla. – Tennessee rowing notched a pair of third-place finishes to conclude the final day of the Big Ten Invitational at Nathan Benderson Park.

"The racing this weekend was high caliber: just what we needed at this time in our development," head coach Lisa Glenn said. "We won some hard-fought races and learned quite a bit on our last trip down the course; lessons we'll take forward into the next part of the season. Thanks to host Wisconsin and the Big Ten programs and volunteers for putting on a great event."

In the lone session of the day, the 18th-ranked Lady Vols took on No. 10 Duke, No. 20 Indiana and Minnesota. UT's first and second varsity eight boats both placed third in tight races.

The 1V8 posted its fastest mark of the weekend at 6:29.800, defeating Minnesota but narrowly falling to the Hoosiers (6:23.257) and Blue Devils (6:24.984). Madelyn Walsh coxed the lineup of Emma Seawright, Natalia Loram, Kathleen Rice, Jaimie Armitage, Reagan Long, Lindsey Morrissett, Sydney Pardy and Erin Gifford during the race.

In the 2V8 race, UT crossed the finish line in 6:39.137 to defeat Minnesota and finish less than eight seconds off the top time by Duke (6:31.821). The group was coxed by Elizabeth Walley and featured Haley Savastano, Katherine Schildmeyer, Casey Chronister, Riley Ferdelman, Kayla Anderson, Logan Yates, Paige Reymann and Alyssa Biernat.

Up next, the Lady Vols will compete in the Princeton Invite on Saturday, April 30, beginning at 9 a.m. ET.
