Wild, Wild West Blog: Day 4

To all our fans back in the big east...
Today was a picture perfect day for rowing; the California sun
tanning our shoulders as we awaited to begin our journey on the way
to victory.
It all began with the heats of the Varsity 8. Our warm-up
down the race course felt good- powerful and smooth and
the race-felt similiar. However, we came up a little
short placing third behind Western Washington University and Barry
University. We'll get everyone in the reps tomorrow.
It was a different story for the Varsity 4 as they dominated
Seattle Pacific securing their spot in the Grand Finals on Sunday.
We all couldn't be happier- it's one step closer to a National
Championship! The pair also had a great showing at today's
races. Sophomore Megan Gallagher and freshman Lauren Fox finished a
strong fifth place racing against DII and DIII teams. 
We wrapped up the night at an American eatery with Big Mar (V8 coxswain) and V8 bowseat Lindsey Catov dominating a colossal brownie sundae. A good end to the day.
Now we end the night with a PhilaU ritual...a final pep
talk from Coach Chris O'Brien before lights out. So goodnight to
the big east and wish us luck tomorrow at our repachage!
xoxo
