Nelson “Tucker” Thomas (stroke) and Simon Hatcher (bow) will be taking it down the course tomorrow in their heat. After meeting this fall and finding some swing together through the early summer, they are prepared and ready to take on the international competition in what should be a highly competitive and exciting BM2x field. They’ll face off against doubles from Canada, Denmark, Croatia, and Spain. Their race starts at 4:10 AM EST. The top crew in their heat will progress straight to the A/B Semifinal, with the rest of the crews going to the repechage for another opportunity at the A/B Semi. 

The live stream to watch the racing can be found here. For the rest of the crews racing later in the week and their results, please continue to check the GRP News, the GRP Facebook page, or the GRP Instagram account for updates! Go Sprigs!
