Cougar women make run at Huskies

The second varsity eight race Saturday at Wawawai landing provided the closest competition for the women’s events. WSU women, closest to the camera, were making a move for the lead at the 500 mark just before the breakwater, main spectator point for he races. The Huskies fought back and finished with a win just under a half second. Times we were 6:49.66 for the Huskies and 6:50.13 for the Cougars. The UW crews swept all events in the Cougars lone home meet on the Wawawai course.

Wawawai’s big day for rowing brought teams from the University of Washington to compete with their cross-state rivals during a spring morning Saturday on the Snake river. Women’s crews from the second varsity eight race are returning to the docks here while a Husky four crew moves out to the channel for competition in the foreground.
