Men’s Spring Report
March 7th, 2010 | Published in Uncategorized | 0 Comments
The Puget Sound varsity men’s team heads into the spring season with an eye towards defending its Northwest Collegiate Rowing Conference title from last year, while striving to improve upon past success at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association (WIRA) championships in May.
The Logger varsity men have been training full-time since the end of January, spending much of the early season erging, lifting weights, and running hills. For the past several weeks, we’ve been spending lots of time on the water, either rowing two eights or breaking up into smaller boats for technique work. Spring Break approaches, which brings with it five days of heavy training, including a few unique events. This year, in keeping with recent tradition, the top men’s 8+ will be heading up to the University of Washington to participate in a scrimmage. Also this year, the men’s team will be participating in a volunteer service project during break. The first team erg-a-thon will take place on Monday, March 15th, as the entire program will have the ergs spinning from 9am-5pm in order to raise funds for equipment upgrades and travel expenses.
The men’s racing schedule is similar to last year’s, as outlined below. Check back soon for more updates about spring training, race results, photos, and video!
