IN THE RANKINGS
The Gophers head back into competition as the No. 16 team in this week's Pocock/CRCA Division I Rankings/ After receiving votes in the preseason polls, Minnesota has earned a national rankings in all nine in-season polls this year.
QUOTES FROM COACH
"Before the start of the season we chatted with the student-athletes about the characteristics we wanted our team to embody this spring. There were 3-Cs: confidence, consistency and competitiveness. Over the course of this season we were able to showcase all of those qualities. The consistency of execution at training, the confidence we are showing up to the race course with, and the willingness to compete hard with the best teams in the country whether our bow ball is ahead or behind is all encouraging," Minnesota Head Coach Alicea Strodel said. "Our races over the last seven weeks have prepared us well as we embark on the championship segment of our season. Learn, grow, row."
SUCCESS OFF THE WATER
Minnesota is coming off of one of its best semesters ever in the classroom as the Gophers set a new program record with a 3.42 team cumulative grade point average while its 3.58 team term grade point average was second in program history behind last spring's score. As a department, the University of Minnesota set a new school record with a 3.41 cumulative grade point average as the Gophers increased the statistic for the sixth-straight semester.
THREE TO LEAD IN 2021
Three Maroon & Gold student-athletes will guide the Gophers this season as captains with Meade Avery (Lyme, N.H.), Lindsay Eliasen (Chanhassen, Minn.) and Gabby Mullally (Neenah, Wis.) selected to lead the program through a unique season.
'U' SET FOR SIX COMPETITIONS IN 2021
Minnesota announced its competition schedule for the 2021 rowing season earlier this year with the Maroon & Gold prepared to race in six competitions. The Gophers start the year at the Cardinal Invitational in Oak Ridge, Tenn. (March 13-14), followed by a five-team competition at Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio (April 3).
