USC Women's Rowing Wins B Final At Longhorn Invitational
April 27, 2019 | Women's Rowing
The No. 11 ranked USC women's rowing team won the B Final on the last day of competition at the Longhorn Invitational on Saturday (April 27) in Austin, Texas. The Trojans scored 38 points to claim first in the B Final as the Varsity Eight placed first in their B Final race, the Second Varsity Eight took second place and the Varsity Four finished in third.
"The Longhorn Invitational provided another opportunity for our team to learn how to race top level competition and compose ourselves in really tight races," said USC head coach Josh Adam. "We want to thank Texas for hosting a great regatta. We have a lot of work to do before our dual with UCLA and the Pac-12 Championships. We are excited to get back into the process when we return to Troy."
