4/14/2018 7:17:00 PM | Rowing
Tulsa's Varsity 8+ earned a third-place finish in the 'B' Final, while the 2nd Varsity 8+ turned in a third-place mark in the 'C' final at the Clemson Invitational at Lake Harwell in Clemson, S.C.
"I am pretty pleased with our results," Head Coach Kevin Harris said. "This is a good field of teams, including seven or eight teams that raced in the NCAA Championship last year, and a field we want to be in. The team handled the pressure well, as well as changes to the schedule, and we learned a lot. We really solidified parts of our race plan and we did well as a group."
Sam Barber, Helen Leigh, Ellie Russell, Lucy Coleman, Veronique Ulrich, Lauren Vander Hoeven, Paige Hallam, Sophia Camara and Hannah Vissers earned a third-place time of 6:21.85 in the Varsity 8+ B Final, trailing second-place Syracuse by two-tenths of a second. Oregon State won the race in time of 6:19.40, while TU finished ahead of Louisville, UCLA, Minnesota and Navy. In Heat 2, Tulsa was fifth with a time of 6:47.96.
After turning in a fifth-place time of 6:51.38 in Heat 2 of the 2nd Varsity 8+, Eva Trabucco, Alessia Ruggiu, Madeline Oleksiak, Elisa Vandersloot, Elizabeth McCabe, Kristy Covre, Taylah Eder, Sydney Pirkle and Madeline Lyons shaved nearly 15 seconds off their time for a third-place 'C" Final time of 6:36.76. Tulsa topped UCF, Navy, Tennessee and Boston in the race.
In the Varsity 4+, Tulsa posted a time of 7:39.60 to finish in sixth place in the 'C' Final, nearly 40 seconds ahead of Boston. The Hurricane tallied a sixth-place time of 7:44.27 in Heat 2.
TU's 2nd Varsity 4+ recorded a time of 7:50.28 in the 'B' Final for a fifth-place mark, topping Navy and the Clemson 'B' boat. The Golden Hurricane also earned a time of 7:57.07 in Heat 2 during the morning races.
Tulsa will return to action on Saturday, April 21 as TU hosts the Lawless Cup.
