Windy conditions weren’t going to stop the Aggie rowing squad. But it still needed a furious run over the last 250 meters before it could retake the Jean Runyon Cup for the first time since 2008. “Our team performed well given the conditions,” said coach Carissa Adams. “It made our rowing pretty difficult, but it was good to regain the Jean Runyon Cup. We walked through them at the end.” In a matchup that went back and forth during the 2,000-meter race, Adams knew the only way for the Aggies to notch a victory was by controlling their own emotions.
