Rowing Hosts Annual Head of the Spokane Saturday
10/25/2013 12:00:00 AM | Women's Rowing
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University men's and women's rowing program hosts their annual Head of the Spokane Saturday at the Gonzaga Boathouse. The Bulldogs will race Washington State University starting at 9 a.m.
RACING FORMAT: As is the case with races at Upriver Dam, racing is done in flights with boats sent off the start line in intervals. Placing is determined by the time after all boats in a class have crossed the finish line. Boats will be sent down the river at shorter intervals, resulting in less time between flights. The first flight will begin at 9 a.m., with the last flight set to head down the river at 10:45 a.m.
GONZAGA MEN'S ROWING HEAD COACH DAN GEHN'S THOUGHTS ON THE HEAD OF THE SPOKANE: "Everyone is excited to get on the race course. We have a very young team this year with a small senior group. We lost ten seniors last year but we recruited an excellent group of freshmen and you will see them spread out over all three varsity eights."
GONZAGA WOMEN'S ROWING HEAD COACH GLENN PUYTRAE'S THOUGHTS ON THE HEAD OF THE SPOKANE: "Fall Family weekend is always a lot of fun for us. This is our one home race for the fall and it is also a great opportunity for our rowers to compete in from of family, friends and alumni."
SUNDAY RACING: It is also Rowing Alumni Weekend and Fall Family Weekend at Gonzaga University and the Bulldogs will host Class Day Races at the Boathouse on Sunday beginning at 10 a.m.
