Womens Rowing to Compete at 42nd Annual Head of the Charles

GW Finished 21st of 46 Last Year

Oct. 18, 2006

Washington, DC - The George Washington University Women's Rowing team will travel to Boston, MA this weekend to compete at the 42nd Annual Head of the Charles Regatta. One of the largest and most prestigious fall races in the country, the Head of the Charles will be host to over 7,500 athletes on the three mile long course.

The GW lineup that consists of senior coxswain Mansi Shah, junior Liz Cavanaugh, senior Angela Costales, senior Hilary Goldberg, senior Kate Austin, senior Liz Gordon, senior Jenna Feistritzer, sophomore Bess Austin and senior Brandi Kerrigan will race in the championship eights event on Sunday at 4:26 p.m.

Head Coach Rob McCracken has high hopes for his team at this year's event. "The team consists of a strong group of rowers this year and we are excited to kick things off at the Head of the Charles. If they row well and are aggressive down the course, then we should get some good results. I am looking forward to seeing how they perform against some of the best teams in the country."

Last year the Colonials finished 21st in the 46 boat event.
