RESULTS

HENDERSON, Nev. — Colgate men's rowing began its spring season racing some of the top boats in the country at the Lake Las Vegas Collegiate Invite.
 
Originally the Raiders were supposed to race on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but due to poor weather, the action took place Saturday as the events on Friday and Sunday got canceled.
 
Colgate entered its varsity eight boat at the regatta, competing against California, Oregon State, and San Diego.
 
The Raiders' first race was a head-to-head battle against Cal, who came in as the defending IRA National Champion. Colgate came in second, posting a time of 6:07.16. The Bears' boat logged a time of 5:45.63.
 
Next, the Raiders went up against Oregon State and San Diego. The varsity eight posted a time of 6:24.33. It was a photo finish, with Colgate coming in less than a second behind OSU's winning crew that crossed the line in 6:23.62. The boat also finished 11 seconds ahead of third-place San Diego, who recorded a time of 6:35.91.
 
UP NEXT
Colgate will have just over a month to prepare for its next race. The Raiders head to Philadelphia April 8 to compete at the Murphy Cup Regatta on the Schuylkill River.
