Juniors Take Class Day Title in Portland

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State had a strong day as a group and the junior class took home the class day hardware in the 8+ race, where the Beavs took the top four spots.
 
The day began with the collegiate varsity 8+, which featured a win from the junior class boat. The juniors finished in 16:25.25, followed nearly 20 seconds behind by the sophomores. The seniors placed third, pushed hard by a freshman class boat that finished just four seconds behind their older counterparts.
 
"All in all, it was a successful regatta and the team took home a lot of hardware. I was very impressed with the pairs, with a stand out performance by Colin Lindquist (who was also in that junior class 8+) and freshman, Shane Johnson. This gives us a good platform for next week's race in Seattle at the Head of the Lake," Oregon State head coach Gabe Winkler said.
 
Oregon State again took spots 1-4 in the Varsity 4+. The 'A' boat of Drew Riviello, Ryan Ghalayini, Brian Tames, Ryan Coulter and Dylan Stagel took home the win, followed in succession by the B, C and D boats.
 
Colin Lindquist and Shane Johnson took first in the 2- race, followed by Andrew Balsbaugh and Cal Labonski. William La Fond and Windsor Pratt took third.
