The Zags will stay in Chula Vista to train as a team

CHULA VISTA, Calif. -- In a rare meeting between the two teams, Gonzaga and the University of Minnesota raced against each other on Wednesday morning at the Chula Vista training center in California.

"It was a great morning for racing," head coach Andrew Derrick said. "Our team raced hard with varying levels of success and execution. Some boats are happy with how they performed and some not as much, but it's early March and we will keep working on being better on race day. Minnesota is a well coached and very good team that's only going to get better as the Spring unfolds just as we hope to do. It was great early season experience that I hope makes both programs better as we prepare to race within our respective conferences."

In the Varsity Eight Race, the Zags finished first with a time of 6:50.45. The Bulldogs had a Second Varsity Eight boat in the same race, finishing in 7:10.71 and placing fourth.

Gonzaga finished third and fourth in the other race of the day against the Gophers. The 1V4 boat finished third with a time of 7:57.43 as the 2V4 boat placed fourth with a time of 8:03.21.

Up Next: GU will stay at Chula Vista to complete some spring training. The next official race for Gonzaga is March 25-26 at the San Diego Crew Classic.
