April 19, 2014 | Men's Rowing
Redwood Shores, Calif. – The No. 16 men's rowing team finished the first day of the Stanford Invitational defeating the University of San Diego in the Varsity 8 and Junior Varsity 8 races, and UC Davis in the Freshman 8 race.
“There was a great effort all around today from our crews,” said Head Coach Steve Todd. “We were trailing off the start in all three races, but came back to win each one.”
The first crew to hit the water was the Varsity 8. Oregon State cruised past the Toreros, recording a final time of 6:20.7, almost 14 seconds faster than San Diego's 6:34.0.
Next up was the Junior Varsity 8 race, where the Beavs also tallied the win. Oregon State recorded a 6:36.5 to San Diego's 6:40.3, claiming the Beavers' second win of the day.
Last on the water was the Freshman 8 crew, closing out the day with another win. The Beavers narrowly slipped past the Aggies, recording a final time of 6:42.0 to UC Davis' 6:51.9.
All three Oregon State crews will take on No. 1 California and No.12 Wisconsin tomorrow on day two of the invite.
"There were challenging conditions today and a strong headwind,” Todd said. “We haven't had conditions like that in a race this year and the guys did a good job of handling it and racing well."
The first race will start tomorrow at 9 a.m. PT in Redwood Shores, Calif. Follow updates and final times at Twitter.com/stanfordmrowing and www.osubeavers.com.
