Complete Results - 2023 Spartan Invitational
Â
Lining up with crews from Miami, Temple, Tulsa, and novice boats from Eastern Michigan, the Spartans responded with nine race wins on the day, including five in the second half of the day's schedule against Temple. The Spartan varsity four, third varsity four, and both the first and second novice eights each secured two victories on the day.Â
Â
MSU's top two boats each split the day, falling to Miami and defeating Temple, both falling to the Hurricanes by just over five seconds at the finish but bouncing back with strong afternoon performances.Â
Â
Both of MSU's novices continued their recent success – the top novice boat posted margins of better than 30 seconds over the MSU 3V and nearly a minute over outside competition in both of their races against the Hurricanes and Eagles. The second novices both posted open-water victories as well, over Miami's third varsity eight and the Eastern Michigan novices.Â
Â
The fours – MSU put four of them in the water on Saturday – also experienced success. The varsity four had open water against both Miami and Temple, while the third four posted wins over the Hurricanes and MSU's fourth varsity four entry. The Spartan second four edged out Miami by 1.5 seconds in the morning session, but lost to Temple in the afternoon.Â
Â
At the conclusion of the day's racing – the only home race for MSU this season - the Spartans honored their fifth-year and senior student-athletes. ( Emily Carless, Kendall Carlin, Victoria Mills, Mackenzie Rugg, Molly Stothard, and Olivia Tolkinen.)  Olivia Long was also honored as a member of the MSU Class of '23. Â
Â
MSU heads back out on the road for next weekend's racing at Ohio State, where the Spartans will race the host Buckeyes as well as Indiana.  Â
