CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson rowing program released its 2018-2019 season competition schedule on Monday. The Tigers’ schedule includes trips to regattas in New Jersey and Florida during the Spring 2019 campaign.
“We are looking forward to a great 2018-2019 racing season,” head coach Stephen Frazier Wong said. “With the graduation of 21 seniors last year and addition of 15 freshmen this year, the team will have a vastly different look. However, we plan to use that new energy to keep improving and striving to take Clemson rowing to the next level.
“Every race we have is the most important one on our schedule, but we have increased to five the number of championship style races that we will be attending this year. These races, the Cardinal Invite, Cooper Sprints, Sunshine State Invitational, Clemson Invitational and Lake Wheeler Sprints, all have either a multiple race format or a heat or semi-final to final progression. This format is helpful to prepare our team for that same progression in the ACC and the NCAA Championships. It will also allow our young team to gain much needed collegiate racing experience.”
