2020 Outlook - "Big 1st-year class impacted every boat right up to the V8 in the fall and we're expecting that to continue in the spring. Of course, a lot will depend on the maturity of that group (along with the large sophomore class) through the "dead period" of our training calendar. Leadership has done a good job recalibrating for this young squad thus far...but their work is far from over."
