3. WORDS FROM COACH -- "We're looking forward to seeing what we can do at the Princeton Chase this year. All three boats have been more competitive with one another in the last two weeks as we have several guys coming back from injury. We'll see how it all pans out, and we'll make some switches in the afternoon session. This is a much more straightforward course so it should be a good test for all three boats. We'll be boating some pairs in the afternoon session, which will be a little different than years past. Our top four pairs from the summer/fall matrix will see where they stack up." - Head Coach Beau Hoopman
4. HOW TO FOLLOW – A recap with results will be posted on the UWBadgers.com website after each day of the race. Stay tuned on the @BadgerMRowing Instagram, Twitter and Facebook as well for live updates.
