SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State rowing team competed in its first event of its fall slate on Sunday. The Aztecs raced at the Row for the Cure regatta on Mission Bay where SDSU's top boat finished in second in the open eight race.
The first event of the day was the open eight race which got underway at 7:40 am. The Aztec's `A' boat finished in second place with a time of 12 minutes, 32 seconds. The SDSU cross of the finish line was just behind first-place finishers, USD `A' (12:18). Tied for second with SDSU was USD `B' (12:32) followed by SDSU `B' (12:41) in third. The third San Diego State boat in the event, SDSU `C', finished in fifth place (13:26). Of the 10 entrants in the open eight event, all three of SDSU's crews finished in the top half of the field.
The next race for the Aztecs came in the novice eight event, in which there were only two entrants, both San Diego State crews. The SDSU `A' (14:00) finished first followed by SDSU `B' (15:12).
In the third and final event for SDSU, the Aztecs finished in the middle of the pack of the 12 entrants in the open four race. The Toreros had three boats take the top spots. The two San Diego State crews in the race finished in fourth, seventh and eighth place, respectively. The SDSU `A' boat crossed the finish line with a time of 13:52 followed by the SDSU `C' boat (14:08) and the SDSU `B' boat at 14:21.
San Diego State will next get back on the water on Nov. 7 when it faces UCLA in a two-day exhibition at the Olympic Training Center in the Chula Vista area of San Diego.
