SEATTLE, Wash. – The Boston University men's rowing team continued their season in style by competing at the prestigious Windermere Cup Regatta on Saturday.

The Terriers raced three eights at the annual regatta, with the varsity eight competing for the Windermere Cup against defending world champion Germany and perennial national powerhouse Washington Huskies.

ABOUT THE WINDERMERE CUP
The annual spring rowing event on the Montlake Cut is held in conjunction with the Seattle Yacht Club's Opening Day parade, which signals the beginning of boating season in Seattle and draws thousands of spectators. The entire event is a joint effort between Washington Rowing, the Seattle Yacht Club and Windermere Real Estate, with Windermere serving as the title sponsor of the event.

The 2019 Windermere Cup also includes a number of events during the week leading up to race day. The Seattle Yacht Club's Opening Day parade through the Montlake Cut will immediately follow the racing. For a complete list of Windermere Cup information including schedules and events visit windermerecup.com.

The regatta was founded in 1987 when Windermere Real Estate founder John Jacobi joined up with the University of Washington to create an annual rowing event. They wanted to bring the best team in the world to Seattle's Montlake Cut, which at the time was the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union brought both its men's and women's crews and won both races. After that, the precedent was set for what has become one of the world's premier rowing events.

Up Next
The Terriers' postseason gets underway when BU competes at the Eastern Sprints on May 19. The Terriers then head back out west to compete at the IRA National Championships in Sacramento, Calif. May 31 to June 2.
