The Cougars will conclude 2019 fall competition this Saturday, Nov. 2, traveling up to Spokane to race at Silver Lake. The regatta will be hosted by Washington State's neighbor to the north, Gonzaga University.
RENEE KEMP ON FALL SEASON
"It's been really positive, I think there is a good vibe on the team especially, we have a lot of freshman this year, but it's been really fun and it has been encouraging to see the work we have been putting in paying off at races like the Head of the American. This will be a good way to round up the fall."
LAST TIME ON THE WATER
Head of the American
From head coach Jane LaRiviere: "We had a lot of fun today in sunny California. It was a good challenge to race two 5k races. The results were pretty solid. The varsity four won, so kudos to them. We have one more week to get better on the water and we aim to take advantage of that."
In the final race the Cougars competed in at the Head of the American, the varsity four, the WSU squad (Emma Barrett, Abigail Linnenkohl, Samantha Schmidt, Ella Greenslade), finished first overall with a time of 19:42.3 to cap off the day on a positive note. This would also become the third top five finish of the day. WSU overall sent two eights (five pairs, and a four) to this event. The first pair (Rosalina Torcivia and Jessica Norris) finished fourth with a time of 20:07.7. The second pair (Kateryna Maistrenko and Caitlin Donaldson) placed 11th with a time of 20:44.9. The fourth pair (Kamila Ondrackova and Isabella Cristelli) finished 13th with a time of 20:49.7. The third pair (Samantha Schmidt and Maddy Pollard) finished 15th with a time of 20:58.1. Finally the fifth pair (Sue Yu and Emma Barrett) finished 16th with a time of 20:59.0.
The Cougars saw one varsity eight (Renee Kemp, Emma Gribbon, Emma Conaty, Caitlin Donaldson, Kateryna Maistrenko, Gabby Hannen, Jessica Norris, Samantha Schmidt, Cox -Ella Greenslade) impressed by finishing second (17:16.7) against top tear Pac-12 schools.
