MAAC Rowing Championships

This weekend the Iona College Rowing team went to MAAC- Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships. We have both a women’s and men’s team that did very, very well. As a whole out of the thirteen events we entered we melded in eight of them. We have our first Gold medal since 2004 for the team by the Women’s Pair, and it also was the first Gold medal fro the Women since 1999. The Men’s Varsity 8 was the fastest ever in Iona Rowing history. Our team is very young, mostly comprised of sophomores and freshmen, so the outlook for next season is extremely good. The team is excited to be taking boats to Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia on May 11 & 12. We are taking three women’s boats: Varsity Women’s Pair, Novice Women’s 4, and Lightweight Women’s 4. The men are taking: Men’s Novice 4, Men’s Lightweight 4, Men’s Varsity Pair, Men’s Varsity 4. The team is excited to race, compete and do well at this upcoming Regatta and prove Iona Rowing program is a force to be reckoned with.
