"As coaches were are very proud of the steps the team is taking," Head Coach Sandra Chu said. "We're developing a lot of racing skills at a rapid rate in a short amount of time. With only three weeks on the water, no returners to the 1V and a foundation of sophomores and first years, we consider ourselves to be in the right place in our process. The team understands and is moving through the process well. All boats improved on their attack today. We continue to work on technical skills to improve our length and run."
The Herons will be back on the water on Oct. 18, when they compete in the Head of the Charles.
