University of Delaware Freshmen Eight Wins Bronze at the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta in Philadelphia on October 24
On October 24, the University of Delaware rowing team won a bronze medal at the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta in Philadelphia. On a sunny day with ideal conditions, Delaware fielded six crews on the 3,800-meter downstream course, and its Freshmen/Novice Eight finished third overall in 14:13.103.
Freshman Leila Morris said after the race that the team's goals were to have fun and push hard, and that it felt amazing for all the hard work so far to pay off with a medal. The other crews also posted results: the Championship Eight finished 14th of 21 boats in 13:22.869; the two Championship Four boats finished 7th in 14:20.560 and 14th in 14:37.547 in a field of 64; the Club Championship Eight finished 7th of 54 in 13:21.287; and the Alumni Eight finished 4th of 8 in 14:50.212.
Teammate Sophie Murray said the squad has been getting steadily stronger since the start of the fall and that the race was a great reflection of the team's unity. Teammate Kayla Mullings said the long fall training pieces had built the foundation for the team's fitness and rhythm, and that she looks forward to continuing to improve at next week's Princeton Chase and laying the groundwork for the spring season.
