TROJAN BOATS
"We are very thankful to Princeton and Pennsylvania for co-hosting this Ivy League Invitational. Rarely do races not have some level of adversity, and the thunderstorms offered us that opportunity to adapt this weekend. The ability to race three 2000m races allowed us to learn how to race significantly better. Each crew is taking home a ton of lessons that we can use to get faster as we prepare for the Dexter Lake Invite in two weeks.
