The men and women’s novice teams competed in their first races October 24th. Both teams finished 1st and 2nd in their races. These first-season rowers challenged the nearly 5-kilometer course after only three weeks on the team. The rapid progress of these rowers, many of whom did not compete in high school, is a credit to women’s novice coach Katie Salvator, and men’s novice coach Cole Vanicek. These impressive results reaffirm that the Ohio State Crew Club can turn hard working, disciplined athletes into skilled oarsmen and women.
