OAK RIDGE, Tenn. – Indiana rowing closed out a two-day stay at the Oak Ridge Invitational on Sunday (March 19). The Hoosiers raced in three sessions, with two on Saturday and a morning session on Sunday.
"The biggest thing for us this weekend was learning something from each race and carrying it over to the next one," junior Ellie Pedersen, stroke for the Varsity 4, said. "There is still a lot of work to do, and I'm looking forward to seeing our team develop as we inch closer to the Big Ten Championships."
