Rowing Hosts the Head of the Spokane
10/24/2014 12:00:00 AM | Men's Rowing
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University men's and women's rowing program hosts their annual Head of the Spokane Saturday at the Gonzaga Boathouse. The Bulldogs will race Washington State University starting at 9 a.m.
Prior to the start of the races, the GU Rowing program will honor Bob and Clare McDonald at 8 a.m. at the Gonzaga Boathouse with a shell dedication.
RACING FORMAT
All racing is done in flights with boats sent off the start line in intervals. Placing is determined by the time after all boats in a class have crossed the finish line. Boats will be sent down the river at shorter intervals, resulting in less time between flights. The first flight will begin at 9 a.m., with the last flight set to head down the river at 10:45 a.m.
GONZAGA MEN'S ROWING HEAD COACH DAN GEHN
"It's Fall Family Weekend and also our Annual Rowing Alum Weekend. We have a large number of people coming into town, so it should be a great atmosphere at the boathouse. We've had a great week of practice and look forward to racing WSU again this weekend. It was a good tight race last Saturday and we will look to open that up. It should be a good battle."
SUNDAY RACING
As part of Rowing Alumni Weekend and Fall Family Weekend at Gonzaga University, the Bulldogs will host Class Day Races at the Boathouse on Sunday beginning at 10 a.m.
