WORCESTER, Mass. – The #2 Princeton University women’s lightweight rowing team retained the Team Points Trophy in addition to winning gold medals in the 8+ and 4+ at Women’s Sprints at Lake Quinsigamond Sunday.
“Sprints reflected the work this group has put in all year. Every boat raced with heart and determination,” said Assistant Coach Katherine McFetridge. “Our undefeated lightweight varsity four raced with remarkable composure and skill. Our varsity eight showed up together in full force from the start. We are proud to bring the Lightweight Team Points Trophy back home to Princeton and look forward to preparing for the IRA championship!”
The 8+ (6:26.783) won its Grand Final and earned gold, its sixth straight and 12th total, finishing ahead of Radcliffe (6:28.389) and Stanford (6:30.221).
The A4+ (7:07.579) also won gold, finishing first in its Grand Final in front of Boston University (7:18.009) and Radcliffe (7:20.465). Princeton’s gold medal in the 4+ is the program’s 10th in history third in the past four seasons.
