Trevor Fawcett, garnered its runner-up finish by posting a time of 6:41.0. The Varsity 8+ also posted a time of 5:51.50 to win its heat.
"Great day at the river," La Salle head coach

Our V8 had a mixed day, winning the heat but falling behind Drexel in the final and finishing second. We have learned a lot and will take that into the next week of training."
The Explorers will return to action next Saturday when they compete in the Bergen Cup on the Schuylkill River.
