Goals for the Weekend - and Beyond
One of the goals this weekend is "to send the seniors out with races that each of them can be proud of," Moore said in an email."There is one senior in the varsity boat, four in the 2V and one in the 4+. They have worked hard and we want to honor them with the best performance possible.
"The seniors must help the younger women on this team understand what is required to compete and perform at this level. We are currently seeded 12th in the 1V, 10th in the 2V and 12th in the 4+. We want to perform at or above our seeding. This will require that these young crews demonstrate poise under pressure and the ability to execute to the best of their abilities when it matters most.
"It is essential that we end this season headed in the correct direction,"Moore said. "I hope to never enter this regatta as a 12 seed again. While there is little we can about our immediate physical condition and technical ability, we have a great opportunity to work on our championship mentality and our ability to execute when it matters most.
One sign of progress in Coach Moore’s first season was the V8 beating BU a couple of weeks ago, after trailing the Terriers in the opening race of the season and again a few weeks later.
"In the varsity event, we are seeded 12th and BU is seeded 13th. They have beaten us twice this year, and we took them in the last go around. While we are not proud of the fact that we have to fight for the B final, this is the truth of where we are. This is our opportunity to compete.
"With good recruiting, better and more consistent training, we will be competing for higher and higher positioning at events like this and in the national polls."
