Last Time Out

Drake last competed at the MACRA Championship Regatta in Indianapolis, where the Bulldogs continued to show growth in championship-style racing. The novice four earned a silver medal in the grand final, while the varsity four claimed bronze. Drake also saw strong progress from its varsity eight, which made up significant ground on teams that had been ahead of the Bulldogs earlier in the season. Following that performance, Drake chose to focus on the varsity four and novice four heading into the Dad Vail Regatta.
