Western Canadian University Rowing Championships – October 23, 2010
Friday, October 15th, 2010
Ready or not, here we come!
Racing at WCURCs may seem a daunting prospect for our newly minted Novice Men’s and Women’s crews who will have just finished their Learn To Row programs, but Novice coach Karly Doehring will be working hard to ensure that the teams will be prepared for their very first regatta. The senior team is focusing on their sculling work this semester, and will be sending 1x and 2x boats, as well as a women’s 8+ (with two novices!) to the competition.
WCURCs are taking place at the Fort Langley Rowing and Paddling Centre, which is a mere 45 minute drive from the SFU Burnaby campus. SFU rowers, please carpool and bring your own food and camping chairs. Dress warmly as you may be outdoors for a good portion of the day.
