JU and Florida Tech go way back, and it&#8217;s been quite the rivalry over the decades. We are honored to start a new cup between JU and Florida Tech&#8217;s varsity eights, and name it after Bill Jurgens. He&#8217;s an alumni, Hall of Famer, and absolute legend at JU. He started coaching at Florida Tech in the 70s and brought their program to dominance for decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also served as Florida Tech&#8217;s athletic director until 2020 and still is in an emeritus role to this day. He is a &#8220;coaches coach&#8221;, and I&#8217;m honored to call him a friend. Lots of emotions heading into this week, but our crews have confidence, poise, and pursuit of getting better every day. We made some strides over spring break, and are excited to race for another cup!
