Illini Battle WashU and others Early this Sunday

The Fighting Illini will race against WashU, SLU, and Mizzou this Sunday morning bright and early. The first race of the day will be at 7:15am, and will go off every 15 minutes. The whole day will be done by 10am, finishing off with the Mixed 8+'s. The Fighting Illini will look to beat WashU in the Novice Women's 4+ by again improving on their lead. The Novice Men's 8+ will look to break the tie with WashU from last weekend over the 3200m course. They expect stiff competition from SLU and Mizzou as well where they expect to have a really great fight in the Varsity Men's 4+ where the Illini will look to redeem themselves after last Sunday's race.
