QUOTING HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“Day one was a great test for our squad today. The competition was some of the best we have seen this season and we learned how to go through two rounds of racing with stiff competition. Seeing our crews race hard in each round and rallying around each other in the second round was great to see. The weather was beautiful, but the heat added a new twist to our race prep. I can’t thank my staff enough, especially our Athletic Trainer, Kezia DiGioia, for having the athletes ready to race hard again in round two. Their conditioning was tested, and they responded with some very inspiring racing. So proud of all their efforts and can’t wait to see them take the lessons of today into our final round of racing tomorrow morning.”

“Iowa raced hard during both races in the Florida heat today. We continue to focus on growth within our boats and and as a team overall. Looking forward to more hard racing tomorrow with my crew as we strive to get better each race!”
