Crews Busy Again This Weekend With HOSR, Princeton Chase

PHILADELPHIA – All three of Penn's crews are back in action again this weekend, with racing taking place on both Saturday and Sunday.
 
On Saturday, the men's heavyweight and women's crews will compete on the home course in the Head of the Schuylkill. The women are slated to put out nine boats across five divisions, starting with a pair of entries in the Pairs without cox at 8:40 a.m. and finishing with two boats in the Championship Eights division at 4:15 p.m. The heavies, racing at home for the first time under new head coach Bryan Volpenhein, is scheduled to race four boats overall—one in the Club Championships Eights at 2:15 p.m., three in the Championship Eights at 4:05 p.m. There will also be a strong alumni presence Saturday on the Schuylkill, as no fewer than six alumni boats are slated to race including a mixed Eights at 5:10 p.m.
 
On Sunday, the heavyweights are back in action while the lightweights take to the water at the annual Princeton Chase. The three-mile chase will take place on Lake Carnegie. Both teams are slated to race four boats in the morning Eights, the heavies going at 9 a.m. and the lights at 10 a.m.

Saturday's Head of the Schuylkill marks the end of the fall racing season for the women, while the heavies finish their fall season on Sunday at the Chase. The lightweights are scheduled for one more race after this weekend, the Frostbite Regatta on Saturday, Nov. 9.
