Head Coach Bebe Bryans
On the entire weekend
"Our racing I think for the most part was really good today. We took a fairly massive step as a team just over the two days but especially between yesterday and today a lot of things came together. We had some great performances. The obvious standout is our first freshmen eight that went undefeated."

On progress made
"It was massive and we're really proud of them and everybody. It's been a great week and the team took care of business and took care of each other. I think we're all in a pretty good place right now and looking forward to getting back on Lake Mendota and putting our heads down and working."

Up Next: The Badgers will head to the Big Ten-Pac 12 Invitational in Dexter Lake, Oregon, on April 29.
