Women's crew with their rigorous
training and tremendous dedication
wound up their season with many highs
and lows.
Highlights included the women taking
first place in the lightweight boat divi­
sion in both Pac-lO and NW Regional
competition.
The 1980-81 season was perhaps the
best overall for the men in the past sever­
al seasons.
At the Bellingham meet the Cougar
men placed second in overall competi­
tion. In San Diego the lightweight boat
placed second overall and at the Pac-lO's
in individual events, the lightweight boat
placed second, the heavyweight and
freshman boats took fifth and the junior
varsity placed fourth. Overall in the Pac­
lO's WSU placed fourth.
The Cougs will be sending two four
men heavyweight shells to Syracuse, NY
to compete at the nationals.
