The 2V8+ lined up again later in the day against RIT. RIT took the quick lead against the Bantams and maintained distance from the Trinity bow deck until the final 500 meters. Trinity’s final sprint allowed them to make up lost distance but they were unable to make a winning comeback.
The 1V8+ lined up finally for the last race of the day against RIT. Determined to come back from the loss against Hamilton earlier in the day, Trinity fought hard against RIT. The race was competitive and though RIT came out on top, Trinity was happy with the level of intensity they were able to maintain throughout the course of the race.
“The most exciting thing about his weekend, and this season in general is how much we improve every time we are on the water,” said co-captain Toni Bowden ’18. “It’ll be really exciting to see where we end up at the end of the season.”
The Bantams race next weekend in Worcester, MA against Ithaca College, the University of New Hampshire, and Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
