Varsity 8+ Results | JV8+ Results | Varsity 4+ Results

FAIRFAX STATION, Va. – The George Mason University rowing team competed in the prestigious Navy Day Regatta Saturday and put together a trio of solid performances against some of the region's premier competition.
 
Mason's Varsity 8+ led the way at the event, placing in the top half of its afternoon race.
 
"I was pleased with the effort of all of our crews today," head coach Joe Richards said. "I think they all raced hard. I still think the work we've done so far this season has been good, but today's results show us that we still have a lot of work to do before we can be competitive in a field as fast as the one we raced in today."
 
The Varsity 8+ completed their competition in a time of 14:28.84 to place 14^th out of 29 boats. That placed them ahead of crews from Navy, Temple, Lehigh, Delaware and Saint Joseph's. What's more, the Patriots were just two seconds behind Villanova, which placed 13^th.
 
Mason's Second Varsity 8+ hit the water in late morning Saturday and finished 13^th in its race, completing its performance in a time of 16:09.41.
 
The Patriots' Varsity 4+ led off the day and placed 29^th in its sizable race of 37 programs, crossing the finish line in 17:09.21.
 
Mason will look to take the improvements solidified in this weekend's racing into the next competition on the fall docket. The Green & Gold travel to Pittsburgh, Pa., for the Yinzer Cup on Saturday, October 19.
