Head of the Eagle
Sunday, October 31st, 2010Grand Valley’s rowing team had another fantastic showing in the Head of the Eagle regatta this past Halloween weekend. Both the men and women of the Grand Valley crew performed very well against the stiff competition that included the University of Michigan, MSU, MSOE, Northwestern, Purdue, and Wisconsin. Even with the heavy competition, the GVSU crew came home with medals in almost every event. Both crews took medals in the open 4+, and a victory in the mens open pair. The novice crews showed great progess and speed even with larger schools entered, this is evident by the womens novice 8+ winning a gold medal. Both the men and women finished up the regatta with gold medals in the Varsity 8+’s. As the Fall season comes to an end, it is obvious that the Grand Valley Crew has alot of speed to look forward to in the spring.
