Mountain Hawks host annual South Mountain Erg Sprints

Posted: 03/03/2011
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh rowing team hosted its annual South Mountain Erg Sprints on Saturday as Mountain Hawk rowers, parents and alumni took to racing 2,000 meters on the rowing machines in Grace Hall. The event was also done in conjunction with an online erg challenge for those alumni that were not able to make the trip back to campus. 
 
Several Lehigh rowers pulled their fastest scores of their career on Saturday, giving a great deal of confidence as the team prepares to hit the water on spring break to start their season. 
 
“This event is a great introduction to the spring season for the student-athletes as they get a sense of racing with all the rowing machines connected to each other to create a real race situation,” said head coach Brian Conley. “Despite having several athletes that were not able to race due to illness or injury, we will be looking to use this momentum of winter training as we transition to the water and prepare for our upcoming spring schedule." 
 
As always, an event like this can never be done without the support of our alumni, parents and friends. The Lehigh rowing program would like to give a special thanks to those who donated to make the event a success.
