Head Coach Beau Hoopman
"The weekend was relatively successful; we physically reclaimed the Jablonic cup for the first time since 2012. We won a couple since then, but never exchanged the cup. The 1V has been progressing and putting out a better effort each time this season; we just need to keep the momentum going. That's something we failed to do last year but we're looking to remedy this spring. We still have a lot of things to work on including either end of the race. Our start has been pretty slow and our bump at the end hasn't been as effective as it needs to be to compete with the top of the EARC.
The 2V and 3V have some work to do as well; still waiting for them to work better together and looking for the younger guys to step up and challenge some of our tenured vets. You only get faster with competition. We have three weeks to make it work, but we're in good position for now."
