"I think that the team overall has been outstanding," said senior Holly Fling. "I don't think we've reached our full potential and we'll go even faster at NCAAs."
The varsity four boat went into sprints undefeated, but settled for fifth in the Grand Final. NCAAs is also its opportunity for vengeance.
Radcliffe Lightweights
The Radcliffe lightweight crew (4-2) enters the National Championship on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J., third behind Wisconsin and Princeton. This regatta will be the third time the otherwise successful crew has raced the two top teams.
The Black and White boat has earned wins over Massachusetts, Tufts, M.I.T and the Wesleyan JV Heavyweights.
Radcliffe has had previous success on the Cooper River when it placed third in the Knecht Cup and second at the Villanova Invitational earlier this year. But recent races against Princeton and Wisconsin at the World Cup regatta and at Sprints have plagued the Black and White.
"[The results of Sprints were] a function [of the fact that] they jumped out early," said captain Laura Heyns. "We were stuck in no-man's land. This boat is full of fantastic competitors and tenacious people who won't give in to Wisco and Princeton."
