Props to our Novice

Both of our novice fours were recognized by the athletic department for their performances this weekend and named PAC Athletes of the Week.

The Novice Men's four, of course, was recognized for their excellent and dominant win of 20+ seconds. These guys are fired up and I expect we'll see plenty more from them in the future.

The Novice Woman's four was recognized for an awesome team performance on Saturday; they showed a lot of tenacity working to get through their heat after snapping off 3-seat's handle. Watching bow pair go deep into the well to try to beat the 3rd place crew-- and almost succeeding-- was a highlight of the weekend.

Congrats to all of these athletes. And it's worth mentioning that one individual, our stalwart novice coxswain, got to experience both races and got her first traditional coxswain toss this weekend.

This is what this team is all about; the highs that come with excellent performance and confronting the challenges that arise with audacity and fearless action.
