Men's Crew Puts a Wrap on Fall Season at Head of the Lake

SEATTLE, Wash. - The Oregon State men's crew team wrapped up its fall season with a strong day of racing at the Head of the Lake regatta hosted by the University of Washington Sunday. 

"We made an improvement over last year's Head of the Lake," head coach Steve Todd said. "We did a pretty good job racing against Washington." 

Oregon State used only one eight-man crew while concentrating most of their efforts this fall to four-man shells. OSU's JV8+ crew took second to Gonzaga finishing 8.6 seconds behind and 30.4 seconds ahead of Washington State. 

The Beavers had four entries in the Men's 4+ race with OSU's "B" crew finishing just ahead of the "A" in fifth and sixth places followed by the "C" and "D" crews. 

"Our `A' and `B' boats have been very tight all week in practice, and today there was a really solid performance from the `B' boat," Todd said. 

Today's races concluded the Beavers' fall season. Preparations for spring begin with winter training that will include practice on the land and the water. OSU returns to competition in March.
