CREW REPORT PRESENTED BY COACH MATT PREVITS '97: Three weeks ago, the crew was informed that the race site for our annual championships was under 33 feet of water. As a result, the coaching staff took the lead to make the race a reality at the only location available - Oak Ridge, TN.

From 2004 to 2009, the Wildcat Navy earned six consecutive team championships.

Last year, we finished third.

This afternoon, the lads reclaimed the Midwest Championship.

The squad earned Gold in the Junior 8, Lightweight 8 and LTW 2x, Silver in the Novice 8, Varsity 2x and Varsity 2 and Bronze in the Varsity 8, 3rd Varsity 8 and Novice LTW 4.

There were several 4th and 5th place finishes and we placed 14 boats in the finals. Three crews have earned slots at the U.S. National Championships this coming weekend.
