EARLYSVILLE, Va. — The High Point University women's rowing team completed its fall slate at the Rivanna Romp, hosted by the University of Virginia, on the Rivanna Reservoir Sunday afternoon.
Head Coach Jessica Deitrick: "This fall we focused a lot on the little things and the day-to-day processes. Today, the team put a lot of those pieces together. We are walking away from today excited about the progress we have made and hungry to find more speed and strength this winter!"
The Panthers launched seven boats — three varsity eights and four varsity four crews — onto the Rivanna Reservoir, competing against host Virginia, North Carolina, Clemson, Minnesota, George Washington and Old Dominion. HPU bested historic George Washington and Old Dominion on the 4,000-meter course, ending their fall schedule on a high note.
HPU's first varsity eight earned the Panthers' best finish in the 8+, placing 11th in 14:01.88 and in front of all of George Washington and Old Dominion's boats. The varsity four A led the Panthers' v4+ boats, rowing to a top-20 finish in 15:56.63, which was faster than all three of Old Dominion's crews. The Panthers' varsity four B boat joined the A boat in front of Old Dominion, placing 23rd at 16:24.92.
