6th Annual Race 4 ROW
This past Sunday (10/28) our team had the amazing opportunity to race against DePaul in support of Recovery on Water in the 6thAnnual Race 4 ROW on the Chicago River. ROW is a rowing team that gives survivors of breast cancer the unique opportunity to interact, become active in their recovery, and gain support from fellow survivors. In combination with DePaul, we were able to raise over $20,000 for ROW.The results for the racing came out 3-3. Women’s V1 and Men’s V1 beat out DePaul in the 5k race. Women’s V1 beat DePaul in the 500m sprint. DePaul came in first against our Women’s V2 but our team had a great opportunity to pull a fast 500m sprint at the end of the race.It may have been a little windy and cold, but it turned out to be a pretty great day for Illini Rowing. Thank you to everyone who donated to our fundraising pages and thank you to everyone who came out to support us.
