American Collegiate Rowing Association's National Regatta
George Mason competed in the ACRA national regatta on the weekend of May 26-27th. The regatta had 62 schools represented with over 1500 athletes competing.
Joe Butt finished 3rd in the "B" level final in the single. The final was raced in less than flat conditions. Joe did very well for his first time racing a single.
The Varsity Lightweight 4+ (Evan Coombs, Lindsay Holzer, Will Rose, Brian Hetrick, and Brett Baker) continued their strong racing efforts in the opening heat of their event but just missed qualifying for the "A" final by a fraction of a second [.3]. They came back Saturday afternoon in the rep and spanked the competition qualifying them for the "A" final where they finished 7th in a very competitive field.
The Freshman/Novice 4+ (Cayla Donnelly, Tim Arvin, Max Jones, Adam Sykes, and Chris Margopoulos) turned in a fast time in their opening heat and were targeted by their competition in the final. They placed 4th in the "A" final, only a few seconds behind the MI crew. They showed good poise when things were tight and kept it together.
The Varsity Heavyweight 4+ (Russell Topp, Robert Kress, Gordon Day, Matt McKinney, and Phil Gross) showed good speed and determination in all of their races. They capped it off with a superb racing performance in the "A" final. The boat finished in 3rd place, a few seconds ahead of Penn State, in an extremely competitive event. Their bronze medals were worn with great pride and were well deserved.
