WOODBRIDGE, VA - The George Washington women's rowing team continued their fall racing schedule on Sunday afternoon at the Occoquan Chase in Woodbridge, VA. The Colonials recorded fourth- and eighth-place finishes (out of 18 crews) in the Open Varsity Eight
"It was great to have another opportunity to see where we are, and how we are developing this fall", said head coach Eric Carcich. "We are learning every single day".
The Colonials recorded fourth- and eighth-place finishes in the Open Varsity Eight with times of 16:48.97 and 17:08.00, respectively
Sophomore Gabrielle Uzdin was the coxswain for the Colonials' fourth-place boat.
