The Bates College women&#8217;s eight took second place out of 34 boats in the Women&#8217;s Collegiate Eights Sunday at the 44th Head of the Charles Regatta.  The result is the highest ever finish for a Bates crew.<\/p>\n<p>The Bates women overcame harsh conditions to finish the winding course in 17:15.364.  Sophomore coxswain <strong>Nora Collins<\/strong> (Kensington, Md.) navigated the cramped and difficult course to near-perfection, which allowed her rowers to focus solely on the speed of the boat.  Bates trailed only Williams (17:11.649) and handily beat out such recent NCAA Championships rivals as Trinity (17:32.846), Ithaca (17:54.680) and William Smith (17:59.464).  The result serves as a positive indicator for an exciting 2009 spring season.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The team will wrap up the Fall Season at Colby for the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Chase on Saturday, October 25th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bates College women&#8217;s eight took second place out of 34 boats in the Women&#8217;s Collegiate Eights Sunday at the 44th Head of the Charles Regatta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[24,11012],"tags":[1758,11035,7621],"class_list":["post-1394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-athletics","category-student-life","tag-bobcat-of-the-week","tag-profiles","tag-rowing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1394"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62553,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394\/revisions\/62553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
