Eight SDSU boats participated in the regatta at Mission Bay where SDSU finished each race with at least one boat in the top three. The Aztecs saw several freshman crew members compete in the three races, with six freshman in the top two eights.

The races began at 7:40 a.m. with the open eight, where the Aztecs’ ‘A’ boat finished in second (12:28) immediately followed by SDSU’s ‘B’ boat finishing in third with a time of 12 minutes, 42 seconds. SDSU ‘C’ also competed in the open eight, coming in eighth place at 13 minutes, 43 seconds.

The second race of the day for the Aztecs was the novice eight, which began at 8 a.m. SDSU ‘A’ claimed a victory, with a first place finish time of 13:42, while SDSU ‘B” came in second, logging a time of 15 minutes, 29 seconds.

In the final event for SDSU, the Aztecs finished within the top six spots of a 10-boat open four race. The SDSU crews finished in second, fourth and sixth, with SDSU ‘A’ coming in second (13:45), SDSU ‘C’ finishing in fourth (14:07) and SDSU ‘B’ closely behind in sixth place at 14:16.
