Hobart Dual

Instead of another scrimmage, this year we held a full 2,000-meter dual race for shirts. Since most varsity programs do not run novice eights anymore, we took the best 24 guys and put them across three varsity eights (1V, 2V, 3V). The 3V had the best performance; never separated by more than a few seats they took Hobart down in the last 150 meters to win their first shirts (of their lives!). The 1V and 2V started aggressively and holding their lead until the turn. Both fell a bit off the pace in the 2nd half of the race – Hobart took the win in both races. Our hats (and shirts) off to them! This format gave us great insight on improvements we have to make. In any event – we are on track
