From A Captain's Perspective
"We have a very encouraging and competitive group this year, which has made the winter season exciting. We have so much grit and dedication in all of our athletes, and it's so fun to see that on the water. This is our first opportunity to show off our hard work and set the tone for the rest of our race season," senior captain Tallulah Sweet said. "As a team, I am confident that we will leave tomorrow knowing we gave it our all and with an even better approach to racing for the season ahead of us. Row Gophs!!"
Last Time on the Water
The last official competition for Minnesota came in November when it raced in a time trial format at the Rivanna Romp hosted by Virginia. The Gophers top boats in both the Varsity Eights and Varsity Fours excelled along the waters of the Rivanna Reservoir. The 1V4 placed third overall among 18 boats to cap the day, while the 1V8 covered the course in a fifth-place effort. The Maroon and Gold battled against a pair of teams that reached the 2024 NCAA Championships in the host Cavaliers and Duke, along with another ACC program North Carolina.
Gophers Announce Captains for 2024-25
The Gophers announced their trio of captains for the 2024-25 season, including a returning leader and two new captains. Senior Tallulah Sweet (St. Paul, Minn.) is back for her second season leading Minnesota rowing and is joined on the leadership group by junior Manon Field (Hudson, Wis.) and senior Ella Saunders (North Liberty, Iowa).
Earned the Votes
Last spring, Minnesota rowing received votes in the Pocock/CRCA Coaches Poll seven times during a nine-week stretch. The votes came as the Gophers navigated a challenging schedule and faced ranked opponents in nearly all their regattas.
Academic Excellence from the Gophers
Minnesota rowing was awarded the 2023-24 Gladys Brooks Commitment to Academic Excellence Award from the Lindahl Academic Center. The Gophers showcased academic excellence and thanks to a 3.48 grade point average over the fall, maintained a 3.44 GPA or higher in each of the last eight semesters. Last year, the program tied a program record when 14 student-athletes were named Collegiate Rowing Coaching Association (CRCA) Scholar Athletes. Minnesota also saw Annie Moen earn a spot on the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Second Team, while 14 were named to the Big Ten Distinguished Scholar list and 31 landed on the Academic All-Big Ten Team.
