Oregon State Classic
Varsity 8 tops Sooners, UCF
April 03, 2016 | Women's Rowing
LOWELL, Ore. – The Oregon State's women's Varsity 8 won its morning race and placed third in the afternoon race, defeating Oklahoma and Central Florida in both instances, to lead the Beavers on Saturday at the fourth annual OSU Crew Classic at Dexter Lake.
“They did a great job all day, just sticking with their plan and staying composed from start to finish,” OSU coach Emily Ford said. “They are a tough crew, so I had a feeling they could get the job done.”
The second Varsity 8 placed second in the morning and fourth in the afternoon, edged by Oklahoma by less than two seconds in both races. The Varsity 4+ took second in the morning, but caught a crab and finished fifth in the afternoon.
“Overall it was a solid day,” Ford said. “We made good progress across the board from a couple weeks ago, when we started the season. That's what we are focused on, just getting better every time we hit the course.”
Saturday marked the final races home races for seniors Alissa Kummer, Chen Oshri, Arcata Leavitt and Simone Oberholzer.
The Beavers return to action on April 16-17 at the Clemson Invitational in Clemson, S.C.
“We learned a lot of lessons today,” Ford said. “We will take those back to practice and work on an even better showing in Clemson.”
