Lemonhead Regatta a Sweet Success
The Indiana rowing team was the big winner at the third annual Lemonhead Regatta Saturday afternoon on Lake Lemon in Bloomington.
The day featured 19 events including open, novice, youth, and masters levels for both men and women. Two pair of IU women's boats opened the day with solid races. Other highlights included victories by the varsity eight and varsity four boats. The Indiana A eight held off two Cincinnati boats in a time of 18:12 while the Indiana A and B open four boats claimed first and second in 18:31 and 18:36.
Sophomores Molly Fetzer and Kelly Krise crossed the finish line first in 23:19 in the pair.
"Last weekend in Chicago, we raced as a double, so it was a little bit different. This was the first time I'd actually raced as a pair, so considering that, it felt pretty good," said Fetzer.
"We'd only rowed together twice, so we had to overcome that a little bit," said Krise. "It's a challenge to steer the boat in a pair, because you're steering with your foot. You have to concentrate on that and rowing, but it was our course and that helped."
The novice eight won their race in a time of 18:41, fending off three University of Minnesota boats, two Marquette boats, and two Xavier boats. Indiana B finished fifth in the race. The novice four boat fell to Marquette by 24 seconds to finish second in 22:09. Indiana B followed in third in 23:09.
Coach Mark Wilson was pleased with the team's effort.
"The team did excellent. They didn't get much coaching today, so the team did great. The novice girls did fine. Having the varsity girls come out and beat Marquette, a team that they had lost to last week, that was one of the things that we wanted to do. We had a win over Louisville and a win over Cincinnati, two teams I consider to be peers right now," said Wilson.
The open singles champions are also familiar to Indiana Rowing. Wilson won the men's race and Indiana alum Caitlin Skinner won the women's race.
