PORTLAND, Ore. – The Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced its weekly awards on Monday afternoon; with Seattle Pacific's Varsity 8+ boat being named Crew of the Week after a stellar performance at the Florida DII Spring Invite over the weekend.
"The eight had a very strong weekend of racing," head coach
Kenzie Waltar said. "I am so proud of how the team handled both the challenging conditions and the pressure of an eight-boat race with such grace. This whole season we've talked a lot about controlling what you can control and finding the joy in the hard work. The eight's performance at the DII Invite was a great test for staying internal in the rough water and enjoying the opportunity to race against some of the fastest DII teams in the nation. We're excited to keep learning and growing this season."
The Falcons put together one of their best showings of the season at the Florida DII Spring Invitational over the weekend. On the opening day of competition, SPU posted a time of 7:03.4 minutes to finish second among a field of eight teams and first among Division II competition. The Falcons then performed well on the second day of the event, placing third with a time of 7:05.30 minutes. The Falcons were ranked fourth nationally in the latest CRCA coaches poll released last week.
The Falcons set their sights on the WIRA Championships in Sacramento, Calif. on April 25-26.
