I don't know what the weather has been like for the rest of the schools, but I doubt many other crews have spent less time on the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-69167175445364721122007-04-16T15:21:00.000-04:002007-04-16T15:21:00.000-04:00Can anyone shed some light to who Wisconsin is row...Can anyone shed some light to who Wisconsin is rowing in their ltwt 4s at Midwest Championships. It looks like they are racing bow 4 from the 8 and stern 4 from the JV8 in the Open 4 race. In the ltwt 4 race it appears to be their ltwt novice 8 split up. Anyone have more concrete info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-74351706840147624792007-04-15T21:11:00.000-04:002007-04-15T21:11:00.000-04:00I think a lot of crews are probably experiencing w...I think a lot of crews are probably experiencing what Wisconsin goes through every year: lack of water time and erg depression. While this makes Wisconsin look faster to start off, I think we will see all the crews crescendo through the spring as they gain more water time. This also probably increases Wisco's chances of winning because they are used to this while other crews are not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-88035318848191558762007-04-15T20:07:00.000-04:002007-04-15T20:07:00.000-04:00I would like to confirm what has already been writ...I would like to confirm what has already been written. Georgetown freshmen did not, as you say, "round out the field" at Knecht. They finished within a second of Wisconsin--the bow balls of the two boats were close enough that many spectators even assert it should have been a photo finish. Nevertheless, the times were fallaciously recorded, leading people to believe they finished 16 seconds after Wisconsin. I guess we'll just have to see what happens when the Hoya frosh taken on Wisconsin in Ohio...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-41941169835792671252007-04-15T18:47:00.000-04:002007-04-15T18:47:00.000-04:00I just thought I'd comment that the Georgetown fre...I just thought I'd comment that the Georgetown freshmen did not "round out the field." They finished within a second or so of Wisconsin, and several spectators thought they finished 3rd. Unfortunately, results show that the Georgetown novice 8 finished 16 seconds after Wisconsin, so...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
