Mike Lane<\/a> said. “This was a great preview as we head into our week of spring break training.”<\/p>\nThe Stetson Showdown was a roaring success for the Dolphins, winning several key races against the likes of UConn, Stetson and Wesleyan. Jacksonville took three first-place finishes on the day, adding to their growing string of wins this season.<\/p>\n
The first Varsity 8+ was the fastest crew of the day and the only sub-seven minute time of the day, racing in 6:57.7, nearly 15 seconds clear of the field. The second Varsity 8+ was similarly dominant, finishing in 7:13.7, 14.2 seconds clear of second place UConn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dolphins second varsity eight would’ve finished within two seconds of UConn’s first varsity eight and third among the first varsity eights.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville also took gold in the second varsity 4+, with a nearly 19 second win for the second varsity 4+ while the third varsity 4+ placed just behind and clear of every other school in the race.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins posted second place finishes in the first varsity 4+ and the third varsity 8+, with the Huskies taking top prize in those races.<\/p>\n
Prior to Saturday’s regatta in DeLand, the Dolphins faced off against nationally ranked UCF. In a celebration of Florida rowing, Jacksonville placed behind the Knights in three fours and three eights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the first varsity eight, the Dolphins actually posted a faster finish than their first-place prize in DeLand, finishing a 6:48.8 time, 24.4 seconds back of UCF.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
