Neither GW crew teams raced particularly well at last weekend’s Princeton Chase. The top men’s boat placed 16th in the men’s heavyweight four and its top women’s boat placed 22nd in the women’s open four. GW placed last in the men’s pair and near last in both the women’s open eight and the men’s heavyweight eight.

“This was one race I think the whole team will be happy to forget about,” said head coach Steve Peterson, according to the GW Sports Information Web site.

GW travels to the Occoquan Reservoir Nov. 3 in the final race of the fall for the varsity crews and the first of the season for the novice crews.
