"We are really excited as a program to be heading back to both the Open and Women's Team Race National Championships close to home, and after a huge amount of hard work and dedication by our student-athletes this season. Last year we finished 3rd place overall at both of these nationals, so our team is hungry to get there and build off of what they learned last year and throughout the season. We started working towards these nationals back in November, and have put together a great spring season to be selected. Our entire team is really looking forward to some awesome racing next week on the Charles River," Head Coach John Mollicone said.
