After flooding canceled last season’s New York State Championships in Whitney Point, N.Y., the women’s crew is determined to prove it can prevail in races against the state’s top-ranked crews.
Though sophomore Dominique Lessard has not competed in a regatta for the women’s crew this spring, she has made a vital contribution to the Bombers’ goal of earning a bid to the NCAA Championships.
The women’s crew will be looking to do more with less this season as it prepares to build on last season’s fourth-place finish at last year’s NCAA Championships.
The fall season for men’s and women’s crew may be in danger before it even begins.
With the cancellation of New York State Championships this past weekend, the women’s crew found itself in uncertain waters.
While some athletes jump-started their sports careers when they were young, the freshmen rowers on the women’s crew team this season are getting their feet wet for the first time.
The women’s crew dominated the competition over the weekend at the New York State Championships in Whitney Point, N.Y., winning five gold medals. The women’s first varsity 8, second varsity 8, third varsity 8, novice 8 and second novice 8 all won gold medals.
