This weekend the Notre Dame Men’s Rowing team headed to Rockford, Illinois, for a duel against the University of Minnesota. Originally scheduled to be held at Devil’s Lake in Wisconsin, the race was moved to Rockford due to icy conditions. Unfortunately, the weather conditions still played a factor in Illinois. When the Irish arrived at the course, there was already a firm headwind blowing up the racecourse. As the races began, the wind continued to worsen. The first race of the day was the Freshman 4+ event. The Irish entered two boats in this race to Minnesota’s one. Unfortunately, the Irish finished second and third, with the wind severely affecting the Notre Dame boats. The Irish unfortunately finished behind the Minnesota boat in the freshman race as well. The Freshman eight, however, showed marked improvement since their first race against Purdue. The V8 race was more successful. The Irish started up on Minnesota, but allowed the Gophers to walk back slightly in the middle of the piece. At about the 1250-meter mark, however, the Irish crew took a decisive move and put Minnesota away. The final margin was around 12 seconds. The remaining races were unfortunately cancelled due to inclement weather. The weekend gave the novices another opportunity to race and gave the V8 a confidence boost before SIRAs next weekend.…
