The Ohio State women’s crew team is rowing into its San Diego meet this weekend with a 1-1 record.The varsity squad, made up of two boats with eight athletes and another boat of four, practices six days a week preparing for competition. This crew of Buckeyes will be propelling through some rough San Diego waters in a national regatta this weekend.”Michigan will be there,” said coach Andy Teitelbaum. “We know they are very fast­ we rowed against them last weekend.””We have several kids in the boats who have raced a lot before,” he added. “That’s what helped us beat North Carolina.” But despite their experience, the Scarlet and Gray boats are not as strong as they have been in the past, he said.”We don’t have a lot of raw strength,” he said. “We will need to out-row and out-race the competition this year, not out-power them. What we lack in strength we need to make up in skill.””Last year we had a boat make it to the NCAA championships,” he said. “I would like to see another boat make it this year, or maybe the whole team.”That’s a big goal – only eight teams get to go. We just want to take it a day at a time,” said Team Captain Carrie Komar. “We want to get better each practice. We are really just trying to make a season for ourselves.”According to Teitelbaum, Komar will be a key link in the boats.This is the third year the crew team has been a varsity sport, and it has been improving every year, Teitelbaum said.”It’s my third year rowing,” Komar added. “When it became a varsity sport I decided to try it. I fell in love with it and stuck to it.””We really hit the scene running,” Teitelbaum said. “We’ve beaten several teams that have been established for a long time. We’ve improved, and we’ll keep getting better.”
