MINNEAPOLIS - The University of Minnesota rowing team opened its 2022-23 season Saturday morning taking to the water for the Head of the Mississippi Regatta and tallied wins in three of the four races it competed on the day.
Racing on campus along the Mississippi River for the only time this year, it was the 42nd year the event was hosted by the Minneapolis Rowing Club and gave Minnesota a chance to set the tone for the season.
The Golden Gophers got the day started turning in the top three finishes during the Women's Collegiate 4+ race. The boat of Mia Forouhari, Sydney Hicks, Haley Campain, Nuala Macfarlane and coxswain Misha Shah led the way with a winning time of 18:16.035. A second-place result was turned in by Anna Stephenson, Eleni Charalampidou-Layton, Kimball Utsey, Grace Loescher and coxswain Courtney Cochico in 18:23.487. The Maroon and Gold also had the next boat come through in a time of 18:28.336 with Annie Moen, Bethany Zmak, Kat Johanns, Meri Bosnic and coxswain Sophie Banik competing.
In the Women's Collegiate Freshman 8+, Minnesota placed second and third overall led by the boat of Josephine Wise, Chloe Kremnitzer, Carly Gladieux, Kendall Karrmann, Manon Field, Peyton Miller, Natalia Walkowski, Sarah Anderson and cox Tammy Nguyen. Their time of 20:13.740 finished behind only Creighton, while the Gophers' group of Madeline Behfar, Grace Raab, Anna Perron, Anna Farley, Eleanor Kayser, Katherine Strowig, Kennedy Cardwell, Abigail Bergstrom and cox Olivia Tjernlund placed third in 22:45.026.
The top four boats in the Women's Open 2- were all Minnesota getting a first-place finish from the duo of Erin Sullivan and Cecilie Christensen in 19:22.100. The top pair edged teammates Harriet Haege and Ella Saunders as they raced to second (19:24.976) before Kirrali Schofield and Mallory Garfield were third (20:22.847).

Coach Strodel's Comments
