SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University men's rowing team will continue its spring season when it travels to Wawawai Landing, Wash., for the Fawley Cup, a dual with Washington State University, set for Saturday, April 19. The regatta, which will take place on Snake River, will begin at 4 p.m. with the Varsity 8+ race. The Novice 8+ will race at 4:10 p.m., followed by the Junior Varsity 8+ at 5:10 p.m. and the Second Novice 8+ at 5:20 p.m. The final race of the day, the Novice 4+, is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m.
The Fawley Cup is awarded to the annual winner of the men's Varsity 8+ race. The Bulldogs fell to the Cougars in 2006 to break a 16-year winning streak, but the Zags bounced back last season winning in dominating fashion.
