THE BASICS
The Drake rowing team heads east to the Mid-America Collegiate Rowing Association (MACRA) Championships in Indianapolis, Ind. on Sunday, April 30.
 
THE COURSE
The 2023 MACRA Championships will be held at the World Championship level Eagle Creek Reservoir on the west side of Indianapolis. The conditions have been known to be windy in the past.
 
SEASON UPDATE FROM COACH CHARLIE DISILVESTRO
"We changed our training plan this year. We are working out harder as we get closer to the conference championships compared to what we've done in the past. We've seen the workout taking effect and our happy with our speed. We have been lucky to get some water time lately to be able to work out in the boats. The more we get into the boat and can work on technique, then we can get the results we want."
 
STACKING UP AGAINST THE COMPETITION
Drake will see many of the same teams it competed against on April 14 at the SIRA Championships including Purdue. The Bulldogs will use the Boilermakers as a gauge this weekend to see if there is an improvement.
