CAMDEN, NJ - The 2003-04 Spring Rowing Season came to an end as GW sent four women's crews to race in Camden, NJ, Sunday at the 28th Annual Women's Eastern Sprints Championships.
The Sprints brings together the top women's rowing programs in the East to compete in the oldest collegiate championship in women's rowing. Thousands of spectators lined the banks of the Cooper River to watch several of the nation's top programs battle in the last regular season championship prior to the NCAAs.
The Women's varsity 8 made the second level final at Eastern Sprints for the first time in GW history. The Colonials placed 12th of 17 entries in the Open Varsity Eight final.
"It was a thrilling day for the whole team and especially the seniors," GW head coach Helen Betancourt said. "The varsity was competitive with several of the strongest teams in the league, it was an exciting race to watch. The other three eights also ended the season on a positive note, performing at their peak."
