Indiana head coach Steve Peterson
"Today was a very good day. We had some very concrete goals we came into this race that we wanted to achieve, and our athletes did just that. Coming away with three second place finishes to No. 4 Texas and one third place finish was a really good showing for our crews. I am very proud how they handled the schedule changes and conditions and dimply went out and rowed the way I knew they could. Now, we have a very quick turnaround to get ready for the A Final early tomorrow morning for all of our crews as we go up against the Longhorns, No. 10 Virginia and No. 13 Iowa."
