Maize and Blue Dominate Speakman
COLUMBUS, OH.-- The University of Michigan men's
rowing team found themselves in Columbus, Ohio this
past weekend, but it wasn't to take on the
Buckeyes, but rather to participate in the
Speakman Memorial Regatta on Saturday, October
28. The Wolverines faired well, grabbing
both the first and fourth place finishes in the
Championship 8 race as the Wolverines edged
Purdue (14:32) and Mercyhurst (14:33) with a
time of 14:18 to win the gold. Michigan's
"B" boat snagged fourth place with a time of
14:44.
Michigan will now have two weeks to train
before the annual "WolverBuck Oar" on November 18 vs. Ohio
State. Michigan has won the event 10 years
in a row, and will look to retain the 'Oar' in
Columbus this year. |
