The B boat improved its placement from last year finishing 14:06.9 in 17th place.
“I think that the standout performance of the weekend came from the C four, [which finished with a time of 14.11.1],” Bonorris said. “These guys placed in the top 25 in a tough field of heavyweight competition. It was great to see them perform like this, and it speaks to the depth of our team this year.”
Headed into the winter months, the crew will remain practicing indoors until a 10-day training trip to Florida that the whole team takes.
“We are fitter and stronger than last year,” Bonorris said. “It is crucial that we keep this going coming into the spring.”
The lightweights mostly compete during the spring season and only had three regattas since the start of the school year.
“I think that our squad from the top to the bottom showed our ability to move four man boats well,” Bonorris said. “This is something that we demonstrated earlier in the season at the Princeton Chase, and I think that we again showed that we are proficient in boats smaller than the typical eight man shell.”
