MSU Head coach Bebe Bryans said, ?The race served its purpose, which was to get down the course competitively and to get ready for our race in Boston next week. I am really pleased with the strength and depth we?re showing this early on in the season.? In the novice eight competition, the Spartans' top boat was victorious in flight one with a time of 12:44.
MSU assistant/novice coach Matt Weise said, ?I think it was a good starting point for the novice rowers. Most of the boats achieved the goals they set earlier this morning, and most of the rowers were in their first race.?
