Spring Break Trip about to Begin

The team is just about ready to embark on their 9 day trip to Oak Ridge, Tennessee for Spring Training. The crew will row multiple practices a day, on a World Class race course, alongside many other Universities from across the country. The net effect will be 3 weeks worth of training packed into the span of one.To make things more exciting, the Fighting Illini will take on Vanderbilt in Nashville on Saturday March 24th to open their spring season. This is the first duel between the crews, and will hopefully be the first of an annual fixture for each team.Keep looking back to the site this week as we update you on Spring Training, through facebook, twitter, youtube, and the site itself. Our goal this season is to keep you there with the athletes everyday as they prepare for the Spring 2012 Fighting Illini race season.
