Colgate sent six boats to compete in Saturday's action in Saratoga Springs."Epic showing from our Varsity 4 today," said head coach Jim Lister. "They've shown good speed over the last couple of weeks and it was displayed once again. With 18 boats in the Varsity 4, it was really nice to see our team come out on top, especially against tough competition. Our Varsity 8 raced really hard through the body of the race, working through tough conditions. We'll keep working on their execution. Our crews raced with all their heart. Effort was shown again today. We're looking forward to getting out there again."
