This weekend, every member of the Laker Navy took the six-hour journey to Indianapolis to compete at the Head of the Eagle regatta. It was a clear representation of how much the fall workouts have helped the athletes improve. A total of nine boats received first place honors, six got second, and four got third place. There was immense effort put into each and every race by all rowers. “This race was different from Head of the Grand [Lansing] because there were many more crews and each team had that much more time to prepare for this one. It was a close race, and we just have to learn from it, reports sophomore Mitch McClain about his Men’s 2nd Varsity boat race.
