Big Red Crew Kicks of Spring Racing
The Big Red Crew Team kicked off their spring racing season Saturday, March 28th 2015 at the John Hunter Regatta in Gainesville, GA.
It was a beautiful cool, sunny day with some some mild gusts of wind. Overall, it was a nice start to the season which was delayed by the late winter weather.
The day started strong with the Varsity Men's Four progressing to the finals (cox Owen Hughes '18, Gage Anderson '15, Alec Vest '15, Seth Cook '15 and Cameron Travis '15)
Next, the Varsity Lightweight Four took to the water in a tough Flight. The Varsity Lightweigh Four is the team's Freshman Four (cox Evans Looney, Owen Hughes, Hudson Walker, John Lang & Anderson Flack - all '18) who took on older crews from some fast SE Club programs placing 6th of 7 crews ahead of the other scholastistic program, Riverside Military Academy by 15.5 seconds.
The Novice Four placed 3rd in their Flight earning a bronze medal (cox Wesley Hirschman '20, Centre King '18, Harrison Avery '18, Jack Reineke '17 and Sebastian Bess '18).
The 2nd Varsity Four placed 3rd in their Flight, also earning a Bronze medal (cox Evans Looney, Joe McMahan '17, Matt Hopp '16, John Fioravanti '17 and Ethan Long '16)
