PHILADELPHIA — The La Salle women's rowing team captured a pair of second-place finishes at the annual Kelly Cup on Saturday on the Schuylkill River.
The Explorers placed second in the 2
nd Varsity 8+ and the Varsity 4+. The Explorers also took third in the Varsity 8+ and fourth in the 2
nd Varsity 4+.
"Solid day with some tight racing in fast conditions," La Salle head coach Kelsey Franks said. "Our 2V4 put together an aggressive race to start off the day and our V4 came through with a silver medal. Our 2V8 showcased a mature racing style and also secured a silver medal. The 1V has made great improvements in their race tactics, but there is still speed to gain, as they fell to bronze. I've been extremely proud of the determination and commitment through our entire time - on to A-10s!"
