WSU Rowing Head Coach Jane LaRiviere on the Lake Wheeler Invitational
"The Cougs always travel well, so that is one thing I am not too worried about. The thing that we're most excited about is that we all like doing new things and this is a regatta that we've never raced before. It's a really strong field with 18 teams from across the country, several of which are in the top 20. I think that it's going to be a really good measure for what we've learned over the last few weeks."
