BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana Rowing will open the 2014 spring slate with Dayton and Duquesne on Saturday, March 29, at Lake Lemon in Bloomington.
The Hoosiers are coming off a spring break trip to Oak Ridge, Tenn., last week where they put in valuable miles on the water after spending most of the winter training season inside.
"Winter training has been really, really amazing for the athletes," said head coach Steve Peterson. "Our big goal this year was to increase the amount of volume and mileage that we've done. I know we didn't anticipate doing it mostly on the rowing machines, but the weather has forced us inside and that has raised the level of intensity and work that the athletes have done. I think as we went down to Oak Ridge, all of that training really paid off and really shows because we were able to really pick things up right away. The speed was there and was very evident because of the fitness level."
Saturday's racing will get underway at 11 a.m. ET from the Dale England Rowing Facility. Indiana will be back in action on Lake Lemon Saturday, April 4, when it plays host to West Virginia.
