CARTER LAKE, Iowa – The Drake University rowing team is set to race Creighton on Saturday afternoon on Carter Lake. The annual spring regatta between the two rivals was moved up one day in anticipation of inclement weather forecasted for Sunday.
The local rivals will compete in four different races, varsity 4+, 2nd varsity 4+, varsity 8+ and 2nd varsity 8+, on a 2,000-meter course on Carter Lake. The 2nd varsity 4+ race will not count in the final determination of the winner. Drake will look to avenge its loss to Creighton in the annual fall regatta between the programs in Des Moines.
