The Gophers continued their tour of warmer climates over the weekend at the Boston Challenge.
Minnesota topped Dartmouth and Rutgers on Saturday in every race except the first varsity eight. The team followed up with a tough contest against Syracuse on Sunday, winning only two varsity races.
The Gophers made a personnel change in the first varsity eight just before leaving for Boston, and they didn’t have time to adjust their boat prior to race time. Because of that, senior Sarah Sobek was seated too high and had a difficult time making full strokes on the water.
