To kick off the "Throwback Thursday's" I take you back to the fall. Last October, the Men's and Women's team each sent a varsity 8 to the worlds largest regatta.
The Head of the Charles takes place every October on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. I was fortunate enough to race at this venue three times in High School, but for some guys on the boat, this was there first time in Boston, let alone racing at the largest race, on the biggest stage.
The banks of the Charles River were lined from end to end with spectators yelling and cheering for 3 miles, making all 15 minutes of the race as intense as a sprint race is in the spring.
Mercyhurst walked away with their heads held high because, although we hoped to place a little higher, the fall is still a very good indicator for the spring season, and we proved to have a lot of speed and a lot of young talent.
Throwing it back: October 19th, 2014 was a great day for Mercyhurst Rowing.
