ESSEX, Mass. – Last Saturday, the Endicott crew team competed against Gordon College in its first erg-race of the season at Chebacco Lake.

The chilly morning race started promptly at 8 AM with freshman Caitlin Reale (Georgetown, Mass.) representing the Gulls in women's novice heat to get the day's competition going. Reale placed third overall with a time of 4:08.8 for her 1000 piece.

Meanwhile, junior captain Adeline Fullaway (Barrington, R.I.) and sophomore Jacob Ross (Easthampton, Mass.) both came in second for their heats for women's varsity A and men's varsity A, respectively.

The energy stayed high for the women's varsity B race when Kelly McKaig (Glastonbury, Conn.) secured the top spot in the event with a time of 4:05.4, while Andrew Richardson (Duxbury, Mass.) came in third for the men's varsity B heat with a time of 3:34.2.

"The race went well. The team showed up and were incredibly supportive of each other and very professional. It was a cold morning, but, even so, we had a lot of great pieces and were much closer overall to Gordon than we were in November, which was awesome to see," said Endicott crew head coach Sheehan Gotsch. "As always, we are walking away with areas of growth, but the team's progress and desire to consistently get better is exciting. After the race, it is always great to reflect on what needs to be improved and what went right. The crew team thanks Gordon for the opportunity to participate in the erg-race and hopes to have more soon."
