“I am super proud of how the team raced today – we had some great results in a lot of the events. What really stood out was how well the SEC put on this conference championship; it was first class. This was the most detail, I’ve seen, put in to making the student-athlete experience special. To have our crews go out there, in this environment, and get the results that they did was really gratifying.”
