"We are looking forward to kicking off the season with three great races in two days," coach Wendy Davis said. "It is difficult to figure out who belongs in which boat when we have not yet had spring break so I will be curious to see if these line-ups change. With so many walk-on athletes, sometimes the lightbulb goes off for them during this week, which causes one rower to vault over another right around mid week."
