Trials for PanAm Games

The GMS crew is in Princeton racing at US Trials for the 2015 PanAm Games. We've got two open women's singles, two lightweight women's singles, a lightweight women's double and half of a composite crew in the lightweight men's double.

The time trials went down to the course last night. Heats and repechages are today. Heat sheets and results can be found here:

In the lightweight women's single, there are three heats, and the top two in each heat progress automatically to Tuesday's semi-final. Everybody else races in one of two repechages this evening, where the top boat in each rep advances.

There are definitely huge advantages to only racing once today! The semi-final rounds are usually very fast, and having fresher legs is important.

Another note: this is elimination style racing—there are no B and C level finals. If a crew doesn't progress, their regatta is over. The first crews will be eliminated tonight during the repechage.
