Toreros Place Two Eights in Top Three at San Diego Fall Classic

A and B boats finish 0.085 seconds apart in the men's open eight

SAN DIEGO – The University of San Diego men's rowing team took two of the top three spots in the open eight Sunday morning at the San Diego Fall Classic, where its A and B boats finished second and third, just 0.085 seconds apart.

Racing on their home waters of Mission Bay in the first fall under head coach Zach Johnson, the Toreros entered four eights in the regatta's opening event, each with a mixed lineup.

The A boat covered the course in 14:34.436, while the B boat was right behind at 14:34.521. Both Torero crews finished ahead of Gonzaga's A boat, which clocked 14:35.120.

"I think in a race like today where we are doing even boats against other people, we came really close even in just the results and it shows our depth, which is what we were trying to establish this fall," Johnson said. "It just shows how much speed we have and that there is potential to work on going into the spring season."

USD's C and D boats placed seventh and eighth in 15:23.120 and 15:28.771, giving the Toreros four of the top eight spots in the 10-boat field. All four Torero eights finished ahead of San Diego State's crew.

"It really showed our depth as a team," junior Owen Park said. "Our top half of guys, and even our bottom half of guys, are all doing really solid work. To put out times like that with mixed lineups that are as even as they are, I think it really shows wonders for the season ahead."

In the freshman/novice eight, USD took second in a four-boat field, clocking 16:34.589 to finish nearly a minute and a half ahead of San Diego State.

"It was a lot of fun racing with the boys; that was a great time," junior Jack Conley said.
