Championship regatta opens with prelims on Friday, finals on Saturday
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following a successful trip to Michigan, the University of Louisville rowing team heads to Clemson for the 2019 ACC Rowing Championship this weekend at Lake Hartwell.
The regatta opens with all nine crews competing in preliminary heats on Friday, May 17 beginning at 5:35 p.m. with the third varsity eight, followed by the second varsity four, varsity four, second varsity eight and the varsity eight at 7:15 p.m. The ACC announced seeds for the regatta last Thursday with the V4+ placing fourth, the V8+, 3V8+ and 2V4+ earning fifth seeds, and the 2V8+ receiving the sixth seed.
The top six qualifying times in each flight will advance to Saturday's grand final, while the remaining three will compete in the petite final. Saturday's races begin with the third varsity eight at 8:05 a.m. before concluding with the varsity eight at 9:55 a.m.
The school with the highest point total following the races will be crowned ACC Champion, while the conference's coaches will select the All-ACC Team, ACC Coach of the Year and ACC Freshman of the Year. Last season, Sophie Schulz and Violette Legrand were named All-ACC, with Legrand also taking Freshman of the Year honors.
In the overall standings, Louisville finished fifth overall with 64 points. In the varsity eight grand final, the Cardinals earned a bronze medal with a time of 6:25.309, their highest finish in the race as an ACC member.
The Cards are coming off a strong showing in dual racing last weekend at Michigan, where three of their five boats finished second to the No. 5 Wolverines and topped Michigan State. The 2V8+ posted the squad's fastest time of the day with a mark of 6:44.31, besting the varsity eight's time by 0.12 seconds. For their efforts, the crew coxswain Margaret Geraghty (Sr, Dayton, Ohio), Samantha Stoll (Sr., Absecon, N.J.), Misia Partyga (Fr., Warsaw, Poland), Jordan Kraski (So., Arlington, Wash.), Caroline Lynch (Sr., Winchester, Ky.), Haylee Judge (So., Traverse City, Mich.), Abigail Davies (Jr., Northwich, U.K.), Mallory Burnett (Sr., Bargersville, Ind.) and Katie Beiler (Fr., Sarasota, Fla.). was named ACC Crew of the Week.
This weekend's regatta will mark the second time this season that Louisville has traveled to Clemson, with the first trip coming a month ago with the Clemson Invitational. With severe storms in the area and resulting debris on the course, the Invitational was postponed and eventually cancelled with only the V8+ and 2V8+ having a chance to race on Lake Hartwell.
ACC Network Extra coverage is available for prelims on Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by the finals from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Saturday. Jerry Massey will handle play-by-play and will be joined by analyst Steve Pritzker, a former rowing head coach at Iowa.
