November 17, 2019 | Rowing

EARLYSVILLE, Va. - The University of Louisville rowing team wrapped up its fall competition Sunday, November 17, at the Rivanna Romp hosted by Virginia. The 4,000m race took place at the Rivanna Reservoir, where the Cardinals competed again six other schools.
 
The annual regatta featured crews from Clemson, Duke, Louisville, Miami, SMU, UCF, and the host Cavaliers.

 

"We definitely need to be faster but what we are developing now is awesome. They are doing better from top to bottom and consistently too"

 head coach Derek Copeland


"We definitely need to be faster but what we are developing now is awesome," head coach Derek Copeland said. "They are doing better from top to bottom and consistently too. When we add our winter training to this standard, then we will get better results than past years. More repeatable too!"
 
In the V8+ race, the Cardinals top boat finished in seventh place of 21 boats with a time of 13:56.5. The Cards finished ahead of Miami and Clemson's top boats and just a tenth of a second behind SMU. Virginia won the race in a time of 13:23.5. UofL's 2V8+ boat came across the line in a time of 14:22.3 to finish 13th. The 3V8+ boat finished in 18th place, as they came home in a time of 15:04.6.
 
The V4+ race saw Louisville put five boats in the water. The V4+ boat came in sixth with a time of 15:29.6, beating out UCF, SMU and Clemson's top boats. The 2V4+ crew crossed the finish line with a time of 16:03.1 to finish 18th. Just behind with a time of 16:05.0 was the 3V4+ boat. The 5V4+ boat finished 22nd in a time of 16:25.7, while the 4V4+ crew was 25th in a time of 16:52.9. Virginia won the race with a time of 14:59.7.
 
The final race of the day saw the novice rowers have an opportunity to race. The N8+ boat for the Cardinals came in eighth place with a time of 15:58.6. Duke won the event in a time of 14:09.7.
 
"Next up is an intense week of physiological testing," Copeland added. "After that, they will focus on classes, finals, and continuing to develop as athletes. We will see them rowing again at the end of December when we travel to Miami for our annual winter training trip. It'll be beautiful there, but it won't be a holiday."
