It’s Miller Time
The UCLA women’s rowing team will participate in the
Norman P. Miller Cup, an event hosted by the men’s rowing
club on Saturday at Marina del Rey. Eleven Southern California
teams will come to compete, including San Diego, Loyola Marymount
and San Diego State.
The Varsity 8 race will be the hardest for the Bruins.
“USD will really be hard for us,” head coach Amy
Fuller said. “They have proven themselves over us previously.
If we can’t win, hopefully we can at least give a good
race.”
Revenge from Crew Classic
In the Novice division, the battle will be between UCLA and San
Diego State. At the San Diego Crew Classic on April 6, the Bruins
in their heat, qualified for the Grande Finals, where the Aztecs,
in a separate heat, did not qualify despite they fact they had a
faster time.
“San Diego State has all recruited novices so they are
really fast and have proven they can move the boat pretty
well,” Fuller said. “We just on our boat and stepping
their level in terms on relaxing to be faster.”
Change-Up in JV
The JV 8 has been revamped to stack the boat with the fastest
rowers, combining JV and second Novice athletes. The boat will be
split with rowers depending on the fastest individual times on the
urg, the boat will be split.
“We want to see what can happen in the JV,” Fuller
said. “The girls should step up their level with the boat
stacked the way it is.”
