Gonzaga Battles Conditions and WSU at Wawawai Landing

Zags and Cougars race for second straight weekend
PULLMAN, Wash. – In rough and windy conditions on the Snake River, the Gonzaga men's rowing team raced against Washington State in the annual Head of the Snake Saturday.
Â
The year's edition of the annual regatta at Wawawai Landing featured choppy waters and wind around 10-12 miles per hour. Wind cancelled last year's regatta, along with the event in 2011 and 2013.
Â
Despite difficult conditions, the Zags' combination of Second Varsity and First Novice 8 had the fastest time over the 5,000-meter course in Flight 1. GU's winning time of 21:03, was just ahead of Washington State's Second Varsity 8 second place finish at 21:41.
Â
Gonzaga's Second Varsity 4 crossed the line at 19:59, ahead of WSU's Varsity 4 finish of 20:21. The Bulldogs' Varsity 4 was third with a time of 20:22, while GU's Third Varsity 4 finished at 20:51.
Â
Flight 2 was shortened to 2,350 meters and the Zags' Second Varsity First Novice 8 combination had the winning time of 8:41. Gonzaga's First Varsity 4 and Second Varsity 4 both crossed the line at 8:16.
Â
"I'm pleased with how all the boats handled the conditions," Gonzaga Head Coach Dan Gehn said. "It was much windier and rougher than we expected. It was good experience for a very young group!"
Â
Next Saturday, Gonzaga travels to the Head of the American in Sacramento, Calif.
