The Basics
Drake Rowing will race in its final regatta of the season on Sunday, May 18, in the MAAC Championship at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. The Bulldogs will face off against the eight other teams in the conference, including opponents they saw earlier this season, Sacred Heart and Canisius.
 
Head Coach Charlie DiSilvestro on the Race
"Everything we've been working on all year has built up to this coming Sunday. The team has been working really hard, and we've had some really good practices towards the end of the season. We're really excited to see how the regatta goes on Sunday."
 
Competition Setup
There will be heat races in the morning and finals in the afternoon. The racing begins at 9 a.m. CST with the first varsity four race. All heats will finish by 10 a.m., and the teams will break before the final races begin at noon. All the racing will wrap up around 1 p.m. with an awards ceremony to follow at 3 p.m.
 
Last Time Out
The Bulldogs haven't raced since the Sacred Heart Open on April 27. The team had a race scheduled against Iowa in May, but it was cancelled after river flooding. Drake lost the Sacred Heart open, but they were able to see conference competition ahead of championship Sunday in New Jersey.
