Racing against Cal and USC, the First Varsity 4+ improved on its time from yesterday to cross the line with a winning mark of 7:14.94 on Sunday. “Today was another strong day for the Tide highlighted by a dominant performance by our Varsity 4+," coach Glenn Putyrae said. "All the crews came out and raced hard against two strong opponents and, while at the end of the regatta we would have wanted to come out with more wins, we were encouraged by how we raced against some of the best teams in the country. We know we have work to do between now and our next challenge but we are eager to improve and grateful for the opportunity to race. Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club and the Pac-12 put on a great event!”
