Hatters Finish Fifth at IRA Championships

Stetson men's rowing finished fifth in the grand final of the IRA Championships, Sunday at Lake Natoma in Sacramento, Calif.

Competing for the first time at the IRA Championships, the Varsity 4+ boat of Walter Klein (coxswain), Nick Hall, JT Lamon, Xavier Mulligan and Zachary Ewing came across the finish line in a time of 6:29.45, finishing behind Washington, Cal, Princeton and MIT, and finishing well ahead of Georgetown (6:36.00).

"The guys raced with enormous courage today and gave it their all," Stetson assistant coach Ethan Shoemaker said. "They fought hard with Princeton and MIT but ultimately fell to fifth behind MIT by 0.4 seconds. Regardless, this is was a great race for Stetson in our first year at the IRA."

Stetson head coach Katie Thurstin was also pleased.

"The men exceeded our expectations this weekend, and we couldn't be more proud of their accomplishment," she said.
