The SMU rowing team will be taking a break from the tumultuous Texas weather for a weekend in San Diego, Calif. where they will be competing in the San Diego Crew Classic on Saturday and Sunday, March 27 and 28.
The Mustangs have not been in a competition since last Tuesday, March 16, when the University of Louisville, ranked No. 18 in the nation, narrowly beat them. The race took place in Austin, Texas, and though the Cardinals took first in all five races, SMU was able to take second twice and third three times.
“This was a great opportunity for us to race against top 25 teams in the country,” head coach Doug Wright said.
Some of the top rowing crews in the nation will be present at the competition this weekend, including No. 1 Stanford, No. 2 Virginia and No. 5 Brown.
