PENNSAUKEN, N.J. - The Drexel men's rowing team took home the men's title for the third consecutive year, as well as the overall points championship at the 85th Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta on Saturday.
The Dragons also captured a third consecutive win in the Varsity 8+ race, the first team to do so in 23 years at the Regatta.
The Varsity 8+ team of Chloe Minicucci (Coxswain), Josh Diggons (Stroke), Nikola Loncar, Jack Anderson, Damian Lis, James Schmidt, Andrew Manns, John Little and Andrei Malis (Bow) in Lois Krall III crossed at a time of 5:52.474. The Dragons battled the boat of La Salle throughout the race, as the Explorers led at the 1,000 meter mark by just a seat. With about 500 meters left to go, DU started to pull away from the field, besting La Salle by a boat length at the finish line.
The 3rd Varsity 8+ team, in Joseph Griepp, made up of Matt Sherman (Coxswain), Charlie Fortner (Stroke), Daniel Yurcisin, Matthew Kennedy, Nick Foley, Jack Hutchison, Jono Andersson, Collin Gross and Dearon Tufankjian finished atop the podium with a time of 6:10.091. The team dominated the race, winning by over 13 seconds against the second place Temple crew.
The Varsity 4+ team won gold in a nailbiter. The team of Charlotte Bentrim (Coxswain), Willem Kirsch (Stroke), Maxwell Frey, Milo Epstein and Samuel Lozek (Bow), in Go Roe, trailed the majority of the race in second place behind Mercyhurst. The Dragons made a late charge, edging the boat of Mercyhurst by just a seat with a time of 6:55.833.
Up next for Drexel is the IRA Nationals, to be held May 31 through June 2 on Lake Mercer in Princeton, N.J.
