2015 Seniors - 4

2015 Outlook - "We are working hard this winter - on the erg, in the weight room, and on the water - to improve on some solid finishes at our championship races last year. Overall it is still a very young group with lots of learning to do but the strong (albeit small in numbers) senior class is leading the way. The Head of the Charles (5th Overall, 2nd College) and Hooch (1st) went well this past fall but we’ll need to keep improving as individuals and keep channeling that on to the water as a team to have a shot at what we want to achieve in April and May. #pullhard"
