Thomas and Hatcher Pursue Repechage Success

Results from Today’s Heat

Tucker Thomas and Simon Hatcher put down a very impressive piece today, especially considering it was their first time throwing down on the international stage. The crew put together a highly successful first 1500m, coming through the 1500m mark in 2nd place. In their last 500, they decided that the best approach was to “literally just vibe” and maintain a strong base rate while all the crews around them went through their sprints. As such, the crew crossed the line in 4th place to advance to the Repechage tomorrow with a time of 6:40.98. They race again tomorrow in the 3rd Repechage on July 9th at 4:00 AM EST, against the crews from Germany, Italy, and Slovakia, where a top two finish will earn them a spot in the A/B Semifinal.
