The Jacksonville men's rowing team wrapped up its afternoon at the Head of the Arlington on Saturday.
"I was happy to see a great showing from our boats and our competitors," said head coach Preston Weinard. "The conditions deteriorated pretty quickly and each race definitely faced some adversity. Kudos to Stetson, Florida Tech and Embry-Riddle for sticking it out and traveling to compete here on our crazy home river."
Jacksonville had two boats in both the Varsity 8+ race and the Varsity 4+ race. In the 1v8, the competition from the six boats was separated top to bottom by under 90 seconds. Jacksonville's first and second eight boats finished next to each other in the standings, as they finished in third and fourth, respectively. Boats from Stetson and FIT took the first and second spot, and Jacksonville's 1v8 had a 17:05.6 time, and a 17:39.8 time out of its 2v8.
In the Varsity Four race, it was Jacksonville A, B and Embry-Riddle. Embry-Riddle ultimately took first, and Jacksonville's two fours' boats finished 18 seconds apart at 23:02.3 for the 1V and 23:20.9 for the 2V.
"This race closes the door on the fall semester and now we look forward to the winter," further added Weinard. "The challenge of a long break apart from the team is one that the guys are driven to take head-on."
"I'm very proud of the work they all have done and look forward to a productive winter!"
This race concludes the fall portion of the Dolphins schedule and kicks off racing season for the men's rowing program. A season ago, Jacksonville had a Four's boat finish in the top-10 at the IRA National Championships, and the team looks to build upon that success in the coming spring.
