CINCINNATI — Day two of the Big Ten Invitational was another successful one for Wisconsin as the Badgers looked to improve on their times from yesterday.
Racing at Harsha Lake at the East Fork State Park in Clermont County, Ohio, the Badgers faced off against some of the top ranked teams around colligate rowing and ended the day with one first place finish and two second place finishes.
"Today was a much more productive morning for the varsity, and the freshmen remained strong," said Head Coach Bebe Bryans. "We raced with a purpose and have really good takeaways for the upcoming training. Really looking forward to this week of training so we can go faster next weekend. Go Badgers!"
