SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The University of San Diego men's rowing team set a new program standard over the weekend, racing into a set of Bronze Medals in the varsity eight and a set of gold medals in the novice four in the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships. The Toreros also claimed second place within the WCC, with Gonzaga as the only conference school still out in front by a few seconds.
"This was a really amazing weekend for our squad. Of the eighteen athletes entered, fourteen collected medals at the largest western region championship race in the United States, with everyone finishing at the silver medal position within the WCC," state head coach Brooks Dagman. "We had our varsity eight medal in a regional championship race for the first time in the program's history and our novice four simply dominated their event. It just doesn't get much better than that."
The Toreros head to Philadelphia and the Dad Vail Regatta this coming weekend to race both the novice and varsity eights. Look for further information on seedings and races scheduling at www.dadvail.org.
