SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State rowers wrapped up its competition at the San Diego City Championships Wednesday morning with a first-place finish by the Novice Four boat at East Bay along Fiesta Island. The victory came a day after the Aztecs won all three eight-boat races.

SDSU's Novice Four boat ended up dominating from start to finish of the 2,000-meter course, winning in an impressive time of 7 minutes, 53.9 seconds, well ahead of second-place UC San Diego (9:15.4).

"The Novice Four had a great day," head coach Jennifer Zebroski said. "They hadn't practiced the lineup before race day, but still came together well."

The Aztec Varsity Four boat, which had several changes in the lineup prior to the race, finished second of four with a time of 7:36.7. San Diego's "A" boat won the race in 7:17.6

San Diego State will be back in the water this Saturday when its travels to compete at the Miller Cup Regatta on La Ballona Creek in Marina Del Rey, Calif.
