The Grand Valley women’s and men’s rowing teams competed in the
annual Dad Vail Regatta in
Philadelphia May 14. It is the largest collegiate regatta in North
America with over 100 participating colleges and universities from the
United States and Canada.
Four Grand Valley crews won semi-final victories and two went on
to win third place in the finals. The men’s lightweight eight and
women’s varsity eight teams took home bronze medals.
“Grand Valley demonstrated its depth in semifinals and faced
incredible competition during Saturday’s racing with enthusiasm,” said
John Bancheri, head coach.
The team will compete in their last race of the year in two
weeks at the American Collegiate Rowing Association National
Championship Regatta in Gainesville, Georgia.
