Men's Crew Has Pair of Boats Finish Top 15 at Head of the Charles Regatta

Results

BOSTON, Mass. - The Temple crew team competed at the world-renowned Head of the Charles Regatta on Sunday, with a pair of shells racing up the Charles River. The Owls saw both of their crews earn top 15 finishes, including an eighth-place showing by the Varsity 8+. With the result, both boats earned an automatic bid into next year's event.

QUOTE FROM BRENDAN CUNNINGHAM: "I was proud of the performances of our two crews today. The second varsity eight advancing two spots from last season is a testament to their hard work and determination. And despite the varsity eight needing to change course to avoid a collision, their awareness and adaptability under pressure were exceptional. Every race is a stepping stone in our development as a squad. These experiences only strengthen us for what's ahead. Onward and upward!"

HOW IT HAPPENED

Both of the 8+ boats Temple entered in the regatta raced in the Collegiate 8+ event in the afternoon.
The Owls' top crew crossed the finish line of the three-mile course in a time of 14:58.516, less than a second behind Williams.
Temple's second varsity eight closed the race in a time of 15:10.309 and earned 13th place.
The top 50% of each 8+ and 4+ race at Head of the Charles automatically qualify for the following year's event.

The Owls return to the Schuylkill River on Saturday, October 26 for the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta.
