The Drake University rowing team had its 2020 season canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. Drake was getting ready to depart for Florida in mid-March for the program's annual spring break training trip in the sunshine state when the season came to an abrupt and heartbreaking end.
With the spring season over before it started, the decorated careers' of Drake's three seniors, Madison Coffman, Liz Rambhia and Erica Thacker, also came to an early end. The three were voted team captains this past year.
