Regatta Notes: The Covered Bridge Regatta offers racing at many levels, including master’s and junior events, club competition, and of course, collegiate varsity competition. A total of 40 races are scheduled for Saturday. …Populating the races will be 21 club and college crews representing 11 cities and five states. As of Monday, 250 individual rowers were entered. …Racing takes place on Dexter Lake, located approximately 15 miles southeast of Eugene, Ore. …Each team/club is allowed to enter two boats in an individual event.
Lumberjacks Notes: HSU will enter three boats in two races and two in three other events. As a team, the Jacks will compete in five separate races. …Humboldt State’s lineup for the varsity four “A” boat includes Shyanne Chilton, Jackie Colloton, Elan May, Kristite Snider, and Clare Nowel at coxswain. …Rowing for the Jacks’ eight “A” boat will be Chilton, May, Colloton, and Snider, along with, Nicki Beckemeyer, Pilar Fernandez-Baumnann, Karen Russo and Hilda Kwan. Crystal Espinoza will handle the coxswain responsibilities. … Humboldt State will see Seattle Pacific for the third time this weekend, with two more races between those two to follow before season’s end. Each time, the results count toward eventual qualification for the NCAA Division II race. “There was less than a second between (HSU and SPU),” HSU head coach Robin Meiggs said. “We talked about some of the things we did last week, and we’ll try to do a better job of executing the game plan and be consistent in our races against them.” …HSU’s novice crews will have an opportunity to redeem themselves this week following a couple of rough outings last week. The Lumberjacks fell to last place in the novice eight and second novice eight events. “We had one athlete who was ill and probably shouldn’t have competed,” Meiggs said. “We will probably be missing her and one other rower this week.”
