BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo rowing team brought their entire squad down to Oak Ridge, TN for spring break as they prepared for their 2008 season. The team was not only able to go out and practice on the water, but they were able to row against some of the top crews in the country.

The first race came on Thursday, March 13 as the UB Lightweight Eight crew, took on the Varsity Eight crew from Skidmore. The Bulls were victorious in that race as UB clocked in at 5:47, ahead of Skidmore’s 5:54 finish.

The Bulls faced their toughest competition on Friday, March 14 as they met Louisville, who was ranked 17th in the latest national polls. The Bulls put forth many great performances against the Cardinals in these exhibition races as each crew raced twice. UB’s Novice Eight boat had great success, winning both races against the Novice Eight boat from Louisville. UB’s Varsity Eight boat also put forth solid finishes against the Cardinals as they finished just 1.4 seconds behind Louisville in the first race and just 3.9 seconds behind in the Cardinals in the second race. In fact, out of the eight races run, only one race was decided by more than 10 seconds.

The Bulls then met up with Dayton on Saturday, March 15 for a few races with the Bulls showing much success against the Flyers. In the first race, UB’s Junior Varsity Eight and Novice Eight finished one two in a combined race with Dayton’s Junior Varsity Eight and Novice Eight. The second race between these four boats showed the same results. UB’s Varsity Four boat also won its race against Dayton’s Varsity Four. During that race, UB’s Lightweight Four competed as well and finished in front of Dayton. UB’s Lightweight Eight crew also won both of its races against Dayton’s Lightweight Eight squad.

With this highly successful training session completed, the Bulls are ready to begin their spring season. The Varsity Eight boat will get things going on March 29 as they head to Syracuse for a race against Boston University and Boston College. The Varsity Eights will then head to San Diego on April 5, while the rest of the squad will head to Bucknell that weekend.
