Hamilton College men's rowing won all three races against Union College and Franklin & Marshall College on the Erie Canal in Rome, N.Y., on Sunday.

"It was a beautiful day on the canal with great racing conditions," Hamilton head coach Rob Weber said. "Our men's boats raced very well today and continue to show progress. All three crews exhibited consistency and intensity and managed to score solid wins."

Hamilton's winning time in the varsity eight was 6:11.25. Union was next in 6:21.93 and the
Diplomats posted a time of 6:30.14.

In the second varsity eight, the Continentals finished with a time of 6:37.08 and the Dutchmen were next in 6:41.26. In the novice four, Hamilton ended up with a time of 7:30.22 and Franklin & Marshall recorded a time of 7:45.36.

Saturday's regatta at St. Lawrence University was cancelled due to high winds in Waddington, N.Y.

The Continentals travel to the Cayuga Inlet in Ithaca, N.Y., to row against Ithaca College, Marist College and Colgate University on Saturday, April 23.
