Beavers to Race at Head of the Lake
November 04, 2016 | Men's Rowing
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The Oregon State men's rowing team heads to Seattle, Wash. On Sunday, for the 37th Head of the Lake Regatta, hosted by Lake Washington Rowing Club and the University of Washington.
The Beavers are taking six boats total, three eights, Varsity, Junior Varsity and Third Varsity; and three Varsity fours.
"We have been putting in a lot of work," head coach Gabe Winkler said. "We hope to build off of the momentum created from the last two races. We'll have some good Pac-12 competition there with Washington and Stanford."
COURSE: The three-mile course starts at the end of Lake Washington, through Portage Bay, finishing and looping around in Union Bay.
RACE TIMES: The Varsity 8+ starts the morning off at 8 a.m., followed by the Junior Varsity 8+ at 8:03, the last eight to go the Third Varsity 8+ starts at 8:12. Three fours will take the water at 9:56.
VIEWING: The best viewing spots are at the start near the College Club boathouse, Pocock Rowing Center, and along the Montlake Cut, on the Montlake Bridge. Admission for this event is free.
RESULTS: Results can be found at RegattaCentral.org following the race.
As the Beavers head to Seattle we take a closer look at Rhys Daniel, a freshman from Oakland, Calif., majoring in business.
Do you have a specific pre-race ritual?
No. But I do always like to be the easy going person. People can get really serious and psyche themselves out sometime so I enjoy keeping it light before getting in the boat.
What has been your favorite moment as an OSU athlete?
Being able to put on and row in our official Oregon State uniforms for the first time was a really special moment.
If you could play a different college sport at Oregon State, what would it be and why?
My high school coach played rugby at Cal. I have thought about playing rugby here if I couldn't row.
What do you like best about Corvallis?
My favorite part about Corvallis is having so much neat nature surrounding campus.
How would you describe your teammates?
I would describe my teammates as supportive and encouraging. I was surprised how quickly the upperclassmen accepted me into the team dynamic.
Where are you most excited to race at?
I am really excited to race in Seattle this weekend for Head of the Lake. I have raced there twice before and it is always a good time.
Describe a funny or interesting part of studying your major at Oregon State.
My professor for my intro to business class Stephen Hodges is hilariously sarcastic and energetic.
What would be your favorite vacation destination?
Yosemite.
What is the difference of racing for the Junior Nationals and Collegiately? Which do you prefer.
I haven't gotten much collegiate racing under my belt to compare, but I imagine it will be much more competitive and intense.
