Quick Coaches' Comments

Both SU squads - women and men - are hard at work this week getting set for the Sprints coming up on Sunday - the women in Camden and the men in Worcester. It's been a blustery week in Syracuse with some strong winds, chilly temperatures (highs in the 50s) and even some snow flurries this past Sunday.

The women's V8 is the ten seed (see story below) and the men's V8 is seeded sixth.

We asked the coaches for a quick comment on how things are going.


Kris Sanford -

"We’re looking forward to getting to sprints and building off the season's performances thus far. I am very happy with the way that training has been going in the last few days even as we have the distractions of finals and graduation all around us. The team has done a good job of keeping focused and making every practice count – now we have one more chance to put it all together in that perfect race. I am also looking forward to watching the alumni boat row!"





Dave Reischman -

"In the varsity 8 there doesn’t appear to be an easy heat among the three. The challenge for us is to not get caught up in the other crews and focus on creating our own speed. That is how we generate our best speed—put the blinders on and focus on the man in front. We will find out on Sunday if that is good enough."
