Spartans Wrap Regular Season at Sprints
4/30/2023 4:01:00 PM | Women's Rowing
East Lansing, MIch. -- Michigan State faced a number of quality crews racing in Women's Sprints in Worcester on Sunday, completing its regular-season racing slate.Â
Â
Only one boat advanced into a Grand Final out of morning heats: the novice eight, lining up in the third varsity eight race. After finishing second to Brown in the morning heat, the Spartans rowed to a sixth-place finish overall (6:52.270) in the afternoon Grand Final. Brown ran away with the race, finishing a full six seconds ahead of second-place Syracuse.  MSU's second novice eight, competing in the fourth varsity eight race, only raced once, and finished third to Northeastern and Columbia in a time of 7:17.290. Â
Â
MSU's second varsity eight earned an eighth-place finish overall by taking second in the Petite Final, clocked in a time of 6:38.590, finishing a length behind Northestern and about six seats ahead of Dartmouth, which took second. MSU's varsity eight had an impressive race in the Third-Level Final, using a tremendous push in the final 500 meters to nearly overcome a near-length deficit, clocking in a time of 6:37.39 – just over half a second behind Dartmouth, which held off the charging Spartans at the end. MSU was a length ahead of third-place Cornell at the finish line. MSU's time was better than three boats in the Petite Final. Â
Â
In the fours, both the varsity four and second varsity four earned spots in the Petite Finals in their morning heats. The varsity four managed a fourth-place time (7:38.660) behind Boston University, Rhode Island, and Drexel, while the second varsity four was second in its race to finish eighth overall on the day in a time of 7:45.59, a length behind Boston College but about four seats ahead of Northeastern in third. The third varsity four was in a seven-boat Grand Final only, and took second behind Rutgers' 3V4 in a time of 7:33.370. MSU was more than two seconds ahead of third-place Brown and four ahead of Radcliffe.Â
MSU will be idle next Saturday and returns to action on Sunday, May 14 in Indianapolis at the Big Ten Championships. Â
