WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – Temple men's crew ended the fall racing season on a high note, winning three of four races at the Braxton Memorial Regatta on Sunday. The Owls added a second-place finish as four boats competed at the Lake Mercer event.

The boat was made up of Truman Levine (coxswain), Conor Murphy (stroke), Charles Anderson (seven seat), Bryan Berry (six seat), Evan Hammond (five seat), Tom Robbins (four seat), Gary Wielgus (three seat), Collin McKinney (two seat), and Ryan Dartnell (bow).

The Temple second varsity eight also recorded a win, with a time of 6:21.32, nearly 13 seconds faster than second place NY Maritime.
