WASHINGTON - GW rowing is set to welcome in five programs from around the country for the annual GW Invite, hosted on the Potomac River this Saturday and Sunday.
The Buff & Blue will take on West Virginia on Saturday before facing crews from UC San Diego, Georgetown, Saint Mary's and Old Dominion on Sunday. A full schedule of GW's races is below.
LAST TIME OUT
GW took part in the annual Saint Joseph's Invite last weekend at Overpeck Park, squaring off against a trio of A-10 teams in UMass, St. Joe's and Rhode Island. GW's top performing boat came via its 2V8 which placed second in the morning prelims, six seconds behind Rhode Island. The Buff & Blue came back in the afternoon and cut a second off the URI advantage, finishing in third with Bucknell stepping in between.

BOAT DEDICATION
As part of this weekend's festivities, GW will be dedicating a boat in honor of former Head Coach and GW Hall of Fame member Paul Wilkins, who served as head coach of men's and women's rowing for 15 years from 1981 through 1996. Wilkins attended George Washington and was a rower and coxswain himself ('76-80) before graduating with a degree in 1981 and serving as an assistant coach for a year prior to assuming the head coaching duties. Wilkins' achievements cannot be easily measured. He was a selfless, team-serving mentor who has touched the lives of more than 2,000 rowers either as a coach or teammate at GW.
The dedication will take place following Saturday's races at approximately 2 p.m. at Thompson Boat Center.
