The Alabama rowing team continues its momentum as the team to beat as the sport enters its fourth season in NCAA. To prepare for the upcoming season, the Tide varsity attended the Chattanooga Head Race on October 10. The efforts paid off as the team won three medals during the competition.
In the Collegiate 8+ race, the Tide team took silver and placed fourth and fifth respectively in other major events. Most of their finishes are within the 17-minute barrier which makes it an impressive performance for a young team.
Team coach Larry Davis expressed his confidence on the team and he’s positive that the players will perform better this season, thanks to the intensive rowing training plus the experiences that his players achieved during the competitions.
The Tide team clinched the Women’s Championship Pairs, getting one gold and silver for their efforts.
